17th-century house where Cromwell plotted

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

Buying this home could be a real battle! Six-bedroom house where Oliver Cromwell plotted key Civil War attack on Bristol is put on the market for £800,000

Oliver Cromwell (inset left) and his right-hand man General Sir Thomas Fairfax met at Wickham Court (left) in Bristol on the eve of the New Model Army’s attack on the city. Hours later the Parliamentarians launched a raid prompting weeks of fighting which left hundreds dead and ended one of the Civil War’s longest sieges. The 17th-century house holds few clues to the pivotal role it played - but does boast rubble facades and detailed carvings from the period. The kitchen (top right) and living room (bottom right) are also pictured.
