We aim to encourage interest in the life and times of Oliver Cromwell, the Lord Protector, who was born in Huntingdon in 1599 and died at Whitehall in 1658. Cromwell is an intensely controversial figure equally reviled and revered both during his lifetime and after. This site contains a wide range of information and resources to investigate.

It was first published in 1987 by The Association in partnership with commercial publishers Alan Sutton. The text is arranged geographically and alphabetically according to the local government boundaries at the time of publication, so for example the now disappeared (and not much lamented) county of Humberside still exists in these pages.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested to see if a particular place has a connection to Cromwell, look at <a style=\"color: blue;\" title=\"Link to The Cromwellian Gazetteer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.olivercromwell.org\/wordpress\/?page_id=2858\">The Cromwellian Gazetteer<\/a>, a comprehensive guide to places connected to Cromwell.
