¿Quien era Oliver Cromwell?
(Huntingdon, actual Reino Unido, 1599-Londres, 1658) Político inglés. Educado en un ambiente protestante puritano y hondamente anticatólico, que confirió a su actuación política un sentido místico y providencialista, en 1628 fue elegido miembro de la Cámara de los Comunes, disuelta al año siguiente por el rey Carlos I. Entre 1629 y 1640, el monarca inglés gobernó sin el Parlamento, impuso una política absolutista y aumentó los privilegios y las prerrogativas de la aristocracia en perjuicio de los intereses de la naciente burguesía.
En 1640, no obstante, el rey se vio obligado a reinstaurar el Parlamento, en el que Cromwell, como representante de Cambridge, destacó por su defensa del puritanismo, su oposición al episcopalismo de la Iglesia de Inglaterra y sus ataques a la arbitrariedad real. Al poco tiempo, el soberano, acusado de ineptitud a raíz de la sublevación católica de Irlanda, intentó encarcelar a los principales miembros de la oposición, lo cual provocó la insubordinación del Parlamento y obligó a Carlos a huir al oeste de Inglaterra para unirse a sus partidarios.
Tras ello, en 1642 estalló una cruenta guerra civil, que enfrentó a los realistas (Iglesia Anglicana, ciertos sectores de la burguesía y buena parte de la gentry, la aristocracia inglesa) con los partidarios del Parlamento (los pequeños propietarios agrícolas, la burguesía, el pueblo llano y los puritanos). En ese momento, Cromwell, hombre práctico y dotado de gran talento militar, organizó un ejército revolucionario, el New Model Army, y, tras sufrir algunos reveses, consiguió por último vencer a las tropas realistas en Marston Moore (1644) y Naseby (1645).
Un año más tarde, la captura de Carlos I suscitaba un serio conflicto entre el Parlamento, favorable a la restitución del monarca en el trono controlando su poder, y el ejército puritano, decidido a librarse del rey y controlar la Cámara de los Comunes. Aprovechando el intento de huida de Carlos (1647) y tras haber depurado el Parlamento (1648), Cromwell hizo juzgar y ejecutar al soberano (30 de enero de 1649), suprimió la monarquía y la Cámara de los Lores y proclamó la República o Commonwealth (mayo de 1649).
A su muerte (3 de septiembre de 1658), sin embargo, la República se vio inmersa en un período de caos, que acabó con la restauración de la monarquía en la persona de Carlos II por parte del Parlamento (1660). A pesar de su prudencia, el nuevo monarca no dudó en ordenar la exhumación del cadáver del hombre que había firmado la sentencia de muerte de su padre, para cortarle la cabeza y exponerla en la torre de Londres.

О́лівер Кро́мвель (англ. Oliver Cromwell; 25 квітня 1599 — 3 вересня 1658) — лорд-протектор Англії в 1653–1658 роках, лідер пуритан. Військовий керівник громадянської війни в Англії, прибічник парламентаризму, один з організаторів армії парламенту Англії в боротьбі з королівською армією під час Громадянської війни.
Кромвель став членом парламенту 1628–1629 років від Хантінгдону. Записи парламенту показали лише одну його промову. Після розпуску парламенту Карлом I у 1629 король правив країною протягом 11 років без парламенту. Коли Карл I зіткнувся з шотландським повстанням, відомим як Єпископські війни, йому довелося зібрати парламент у 1640 через нестачу коштів. Кромвель повернувся до парламенту, але збори тривали тільки три тижні, та стали відомі як «Короткий парламент».
3 листопада 1640 знову було скликано парламент, що став відомий як «Довгий парламент». Олівер Кромвель брав участь як депутат від Кембриджа. Він налагоджував сімейні та релігійні зв'язки з представниками палати лордів та палати громад.
На початку Англійської громадянської війни Кромвель почав свою військову кар'єру, очоливши кавалерійський загін із 60 вершників, відомий як «Залізнобока кавалерія», який став основою його Армії нового зразка. Лідерство Кромвеля у битві під Марстон-Муром (1644) привело його до великого піднесення. Кромвель виявився талановитим полководцем...
Canterbury Cathedral Video Guide ???????? England Best Place - Travel & Discover
Canterbury, in Kent, has been the seat of the spiritual head of the Church of England for nearly five centuries. Canterbury's other important monuments are the modest Church of St Martin, the oldest church in England; the ruins of the Abbey of St Augustine, a reminder of the saint's evangelizing role in the Heptarchy from 597; and Christ Church Cathedral, a breathtaking mixture of Romanesque and Perpendicular Gothic, where Archbishop Thomas Becket was murdered in 1170.

Walks in England: Exploring Ely in Cambridgeshire
Today, my guides Simon and Sharon Brown take me to the fabulous city of Ely in Cambridgeshire. We are here to explore what is sometime described as the Ship of the Fens, the amazing Ely Cathedral.
The cathedral has its origins in AD 672 when St Etheldreda built an abbey church. The present building dates back to 1083, and cathedral status was granted it in 1109.

Ely is a cathedral city in Cambridgeshire, England, about 14 miles north-northeast of Cambridge and about 80 miles by road from London. Construction of the cathedral was started in 1083 by a Norman abbot, Simeon. Alan of Walsingham's octagon, built over Ely's nave crossing between 1322 and 1328, is the greatest individual achievement of architectural genius at Ely Cathedral, according to architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner. Building continued until the dissolution of the abbey in 1539 during the Reformation. The cathedral was sympathetically restored between 1845 and 1870 by the architect George Gilbert Scott. As the seat of a diocese, Ely has long been considered a city; in 1974, city status was granted by royal charter.
Ely is built on a 23-square-mile (60 km2) Kimmeridge Clay island which, at 85 feet (26 m), is the highest land in the fens. Major rivers including the Witham, Welland, Nene and Great Ouse feed into the fens and, until draining commenced in the 17th century, formed freshwater marshes and meres within which peat was laid down. There are two Sites of Special Scientific Interest in the city: a former Kimmeridge Clay quarry, and one of the United Kingdom's best remaining examples of medieval ridge and furrow agriculture.
Little direct evidence of Roman occupation in Ely exists, although there are nearby Roman settlements such as those at Little Thetford and Stretham. A coach route, known to have existed in 1753 between Ely and Cambridge, was improved in 1769 as a turnpike (toll road). The present day A10 closely follows this route; a southwestern bypass of the city was built in 1986. Ely railway station built in 1845 is on the Fen Line and is now a railway hub, with lines north to King's Lynn, northwest to Peterborough, east to Norwich, southeast to Ipswich and south to Cambridge and London.
The King's School is a coeducational boarding school which was granted a royal charter in 1541 by Henry VIII; the school claims to have existed since 970. Henry I granted the first annual Fair, Saint Audrey's (or Etheldreda's) seven-day event, to the abbot and convent on 10 October 1189; the word tawdry originates from cheap lace sold at this fair. Present day annual events include the Eel Festival in May, established in 2004, and a fireworks display in Ely Park, first staged in 1974. The city of Ely has been twinned with Denmark's oldest town, Ribe, since 1956. Ely City Football Club was formed in 1885.
Ely railway station, on the Fen Line, is a major railway hub with the Cambridge to Ely section opening in 1845. Five major railway lines—excluding the former Ely and St Ives Railway—emanate from this hub: north to King's Lynn, northwest to Peterborough, east to Norwich, southeast to Ipswich and south to Cambridge and London.

Cambridge, Ely, & Littleport (England Travel Vlog - Part 1)
Our recent trip to England started out with a weekend getaway to Cambridge, Ely, & Littleport. Some of the highlights include The Big Weekend in Cambridge, Ely Cathedral, and The Old School in Littleport. In the late 90s, I was stationed at RAF Mildenhall, so it was nice to return to the area and see how it has changed.
Of course, the blog starts off at the Denver airport and chronicles our journey to England. We arrived on Friday morning, but mostly recovered from jet lag and visited with relatives. Saturday morning, we got up and headed to Cambridge. We walked the streets and checked out some of the colleges and The Big Weekend Festival.
On Sunday, we explored The Old School which was built in 1847. In 1990, it was converted to townhomes and I bought one of them when I was stationed nearby. We stayed in another of The Old School townhomes which is now an art gallery and AirBNB (see below for details about the art gallery).
Before heading back to the London area, we took a tour of Ely cathedral and its Octagon Tower. This cathedral dates back to the 11th century and the tower was built in the 1300s.

Ely - Then (?) and Now (2017)
I collected a bunch of old photos from the 'Your Ely' facebook page ( and 'Ely Cambridgshire Old Photos' facebook page ( and went out to work out where they were taken from, and take them again on 22nd, 23rd and 26th March 2017.
I thought that this would help put some of the historic photos from the groups into perspective; the hours spent putting this video together definitely did that for me, and hopefully will for anyone else watching it.
