Huntingdon

On the way up from the ferry back from The Netherlands last year we stopped off to have a look at Huntingdon – a place we hadn’t visited before.

Town Hall in main square:-

Old building also on square:-

All Saints Church lies beside the main square:-

Ghost Soldier, Huntingdon

It has nice arched windows glass and statuary in niches.

Huntingdon was where Oliver Cromwell was born and the constituency he represented in Parliament. A bench in the square (with All Saints church in background) and a rubbish bin seems an odd way to commemorate him though.

But they do have a Cromwell Museum:-

The bench with the yellow heart on it in the first photo of the Church above is a memorial to the victims of Covid:-
