Very interesting and thoroughly engaging and enthralling property that once the home of the famous figure of Oliver Cromwell. The building itself on the outside has the usual fabulous medieval architecture giving it some great and intriguing character about it. On the inside the house is basically a mixture of a museum and a medieval house which tells the story of Oliver Cromwell in relation to his life, his family, how he came to the house in Ely, his involvement in the Civil War and his rule as Lord Protector and his Death. There are various rooms to see such as The Parlour, The Cold Larder, The Kitchen, Mrs Cromwell's Room, The Civil War Room, The Study, The Haunted Bedroom, The Gallery Corridor and The Tithe Office all of which are beautifully presented and are laid out in an easy to understand way and there are information panels in each which are very informative and interesting to read and learn some fascinating facts about Oliver Cromwell and his family. The visit to The House starts off in The Parlour where you watch an engaging and riveting introductory video to Oliver Cromwell and the Home where he lived and finishes off in The Tithe Office. There is an audio guide provided with the visit which details some interesting facts about Oliver Cromwell and also the rooms you visit as you around his home and the audio guide also provides more detailed supplementary facts from the information panels in each of the rooms you visit, which is really good. There is no extra charge for the audio guide and is included in the admission fee of £7.50 making it very reasonable. Each of the rooms have some interesting things of note and interactive things to do for Adults and Children alike making the visit all the more fun and engaging such as in The Kitchen there is a recipe on how to make an Eel Pie, In Mrs Cromwell's Room there is writing desk where you can sit and write and there some clothes for people to try on along with toys and games and also there is the Cromwell family tree and details of the Cromwell children and how their lives panned out, In the Civil War Room you can learn about The Civil War and the outcome of it and the keys events of it and also see some interesting artefacts such as the protective soldiers wore and the weapons they used, which is really interesting In the Study you can vote whether Cromwell was a hero or villain and The Haunted Bedroom you can hear an Interactive audio and video of the End of Cromwell's life. The one thing the place does really is that challenges to people to think if Cromwell was really a hero or a villain and also challenges any opinions or judgments you have already of Cromwell and whether you think he really is a good or a bad guy making it all the more interesting and thought provoking and ultimately the visit could alter your opinion of him, which is really good. The attraction is also a Tourist Information Centre so you can pick up further information about other places to visit in Ely such as The Museum and Cathedral and you can pick leaflets of other places to visit in the surrounding area. There is a lovely gift shop as well selling souvenirs dedicated to Ely and the attraction at decent reasonable prices. Overall this is a thoroughly enthralling, engaging and enjoyable attraction to visit and one that could change your opinion of one of Britain's most prominent and controversial historical figures. Another a definite place visit whilst visiting Ely.
