Cromwell Day 3 September 2015Each year, usually on 3rd September, the Cromwell Association holds a service of commemoration for Cromwell on the anniversary of his death in 1658. By kind permission of the Speaker of the House the service is held, whenever possible, by the statue of Cromwell overlooking Parliament Square. The service is only open to members of the Association though others are welcome to observe, and join in if so moved, from the pavement overlooking the statue. The service in 2015 was conducted by the Rev. Tim Woolley and the address was given by Dr David Smith of Selwyn College Cambridge. The text of the address will appear in a forthcoming volume of Cromwelliana, the journal of the Association. At the conclusion of the service a wreath was laid by the President of the Association, Professor Peter Gaunt. |
