Why is there a statue of Oliver Cromwell in Wythenshawe park?

Throughout this period Manchester was regarded as a Roundhead Parliamentary stronghold. Interestingly, this parliamentarian ethic still survived until the 19th century, when, controversially, in 1875, Matthew Noble's statue of Cromwell was erected by local liberal politicians outside the cathedral, facing the Exchange Railway Station (demolished in the 1980s - now a car park!). The realistic likeness, showing Cromwell in battledress with drawn sword and leather body armour, (based on Lely's famous painting) with its "pimples, warts and everything", dismayed local conservatives and outraged the large Irish immigrant population of the city (Cromwell had tyrannically put down Irish uprisings). This statue stood outside the cathedral until it was moved in the 1980s as part of extensive inner city redevelopment, and is relocated outside Wythenshawe Hall in Wythenshawe Park, which had been used as a billet for Roundhead troops.


What things Oliver Cromwell did right?

i think the stuff that he did were good. i also think he was a good king :) by bethan dadson 13 years i think this is just my opion not everythink oliver cromwell did was god but some were Oliver Cromwell was not a king. ------------------ Cromwell started out as a farmer and after inheriting some money and converting to an extreme version of Puritanism he was elected as an MP. He was a powerful voice against the King during the short Parliament and a very good general for the "Roundhead" new model army during the civil war. He was however responsible for the purging of Parliament, involved in the execution of the King became the "Lord Protector" of Britain and lead campaigns in Scotland and Ireland that, especially in Ireland, mean he is despised to this day. Good things - he stood up against the "Absolute and Divine Rule of Kings" and helped to set the precedent that Parliament is the final authority in Britain, and he modernised and professionalised the British Army for the first time. Bad things - He then ignored parliament himself and ruled as a fundamentalist dictator, launched near genocidal campaigns against the catholic Irish and placed most of Scotland under military rule. Opinions of Cromwell vary and there is a statue of him outside Westminster still, to some he is a champion of democracy to others a murderous dictator!
