Schools’ History Conference 2026

cromwell SHC

LIVE FROM HUNTINGDON

Home of Oliver Cromwell

Leading academic historians debate key topics from the A-Level syllabus: 

Was Charles I a principled defender of the English Constitution, driven to war by an unreasonable and revolutionary Parliament?
Was the New Model Army a tool of liberation for the English people, not an instrument of military oppression?
Was the collapse of the Protectorate in 1658-9 caused by the death of Oliver Cromwell, not by the failure of his ideas?
