Our wonderful friends at The Cromwell Museum, Huntingdon have been posting some excellent short films, all about the life of Oliver Cromwell. We are delighted to show you one of them, presented by Stuart Orme, Curator and Museum Manager. The Museum in Huntington recently had an amazing refurbishment. Although we can't visit just yet, do check their website and social media content, it's really fascinating !  Moving forward, we are planning to work much closer with the Museum offering some fantastic fully immersive tours and information about the life and times of Oliver Cromwell together with some fabulous touring exhibitions, and our new project 'Cromwell's County' so keep tuned in!
