@jon_theo @MuseumCromwell @Cromwellorg @Cromwells_House @world_turned @huntsdc @Huntingdon_Town @HuntingdonFirst @CambsArchives There’ll be another of these in July - watch this space!

@StuartOrme @MuseumCromwell @Cromwellorg @Cromwells_House @world_turned @huntsdc @Huntingdon_Town @HuntingdonFirst @CambsArchives All is clear now, thanks. And congratulations on staging what’s shaping up to be a sell-out event.

Join us on the evening of Tuesday 10 March for one of our popular 'up close' tours of the museum with our curator - with the opportunity to see some objects up close, outside of their cases. More details at: cromwellmuseum.org/events/cromwel…

@jon_theo @MuseumCromwell @Cromwellorg @Cromwells_House @world_turned @huntsdc @Huntingdon_Town @HuntingdonFirst @CambsArchives There’s only one ticket left I’m afraid, which may be why!

@MuseumCromwell @StuartOrme @Cromwellorg @Cromwells_House @world_turned @huntsdc @Huntingdon_Town @HuntingdonFirst @CambsArchives Sounds like a great evening but I’m having difficulty buying a pair of tickets. Is it a glitch or have I left it too late?

We're delighted to be a partner in #Huntingdon's bid to be UK Town of Culture for 2028, led with our friends at @HuntingdonFirst and @Huntingdon_Town. This is a great opportunity to highlight our town's rich heritage and strong sense of community for local people and visitors! 😀

@_paullay Speaking as someone from Derbyshire, the Silk Mill, Cromford and Richard Arkwright would like a word… 😉

Well-informed diplomat actually knows where the Industrial Revolution began.

@Castafi0re @swiftstory @17thCenturyLady @LostPlayhouse @ElizStJohn @SueCooperBridge @MargaretPorter @jdmccafferty ‘By the Sword Divided’ had 2 series, shown 1982-4 on BBC1. You can find all the episodes these days on YouTube.

@swiftstory @17thCenturyLady @LostPlayhouse @ElizStJohn @SueCooperBridge @MargaretPorter @jdmccafferty @StuartOrme When was this broadcast?

Hear ye! 'Tis time for #StuartsSaturday! This week, please share what first sparked your interest in this period? For me, it was my childhood love of Shakespeare (and, in turn, Jacobean theatre) that led to a love of #17thCentury history. #KeepItStuart

Last weekend we had an amazing set of sell-out performances, recreating the 1660 Trials of the Regicides in the atmospheric surroundings of an historic courtroom. Huge thanks to everyone involved, especially the brilliant cast from @Sealed_Knot. Photos by @barbaricca

Introducing an exciting new additon to the museum, what is believed to be Cromwell's watch! We're delighted to announce the acquisition of this item, now on display, made possible by grants from @HeritageFundUK & @artfund plus public donations. Details at: cromwellmuseum.org/cromwell/cromw…

@sf_lang @CromwellMuseum @LouiseOnAir After a bit of investigation, glad we didn’t look into it. The item isn’t as claimed…

BBC News - bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… Chair of King Charles I execution judge to be auctioned - BBC News @CromwellMuseum @LouiseOnAir @StuartOrme

@sf_lang @CromwellMuseum @LouiseOnAir Helpfully the article was only posted after the auction had actually started, which was a bit late… 😂

Tomorrow, 3 December, we have a very special evening event with a rare showing of the iconic 1981 drama 'A last visitor for Mr Hugh Peter' based on the last night of the regicide & Cromwell's preacher, introduced by historian@JohnWRees. Details at: cromwellmuseum.org/events/a-last-…

Next Thursday evening, 4 December, join us for the next of our online autumn lectures, as @1642Author discusses the career of the most famous cavalier, Prince Rupert of the Rhine. Talk available live or recorded for ticket holders. More details at: cromwellmuseum.org/events/prince-…

@TKoppite Glad you enjoyed it!

@StuartOrme Really enjoyed your talk on the surgeon of Edward iv and Richard iii at the Riii Society, William Hobbes. What a fascinating man! I can't wait to do some digging and read more about him. Medieval surgery was far more sophisticated than many people would guess.

@LouiseOnAir This hadn’t occurred to me watching this last night… but now I can’t unsee it… it’s you!!! 😂😂

Been laughing solidly at this for 11 minutes

Listen to me burble about Festive Cromwellian stuff from the comfort of your own home this Thursday evening… 😊🎄
