HINCHINGBROOKE HOUSE

The change which has been witnessed by this property on both the local and national scale almost defies the written text.

Once the home of at least four generations of Cromwell, right up to the Lord Protector himself - Oliver Cromwell, and then the Montague's, Earls of Sandwich, including the one who invented the "sandwich", they resided at Hinchingbrooke right up to the 1960's.

The house is now part of Hinchingbrooke School, whilst the grounds contain everything from an Arts and Theatre Complex, a Country Park, Hinchingbrooke Hospital and the Regional Police Headquarters. 

Visit the sections on the left for pictures of the house both old and new, and as much of it's colourful history that we have been able to put together.
