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 religion was oliver cromwell?
Oliver Cromwell was a puritan but he didn't let other people play games and he didn't let the church bells to be rung. Oliver Cromwell had some harsh rules such as he didn't let children play football on Sundays or you would have been whipped in public and if you wanted to go to church but you went to the church in another village then you would be fined 50 pence which in those days was alot of money. Oliver Cromwell also stopped the bells and he didn't want the stained glass windows in the church so he took them out and put plain windows in. In my eyes he was a hipercrit because he didn't let you listen to music and play games but he liked listening to music and he did but he punished other people for doing it.by Becky London (who is gay)
