Life & Times of Cromwell


About Cromwell

Our learning sessions and resources for schools have been planned in line with the needs of the National Curriculum, and cover a number of curriculum areas, including loan resources that can be used in the classroom. We also welcome groups who are studying Heritage Management, Tourism or are thinking about the importance of heritage and museums in our society.

Learning Hub


The Cromwell Museum offers fun and engaging learning experiences for all ages, satisfying many different areas of interest. We have an amazing collection of objects in our care that can be used to explore the life and times of Oliver Cromwell in a variety of ways and at different levels. This is a key part of our work as an independent charity, working with schools, community groups, and organised tours to bring this fascinating character and period to life.
