Home fit for a man who felled a King: Manor house Oliver Cromwell stayed at regularly in the aftermath of the Civil War goes up for sale for £1.8million

The political leader, bottom left, frequently visited Northborough Manor, Peterborough, pictured front and back, to see his favourite daughter Elizabeth and her husband John Claypole who first moved into the property after the English Civil War - which ended in 1651. Now on the market for £1.8million, the stunning 14th Century Manor - which comprises of two properties, a eight-bedroom Hall and a four-bedroom Gatehouse, boasts stables, 1.5-acre gardens, an expansive dining hall called 'The Great Hall', top right, and a Dovecote, built in the 16th century.
