More about this scene
The house was built around the remains of a former Benedictine nunnery. At the time of the Dissolution, Sir Richard Cromwell was given the estate by Henry VIII; it is said that as a child, Oliver Cromwell played here. Later, Hinchingbrook was taken by the Montagu, family who became the Earls of Sandwich (it was from one of the earls that the sandwich snack took its name). Hinchingbrook House is now home to the Sixth Form Centre of Hinchingbrook School, and is open to the public every Sunday afternoon in the summer.
