Cromwell
The tomb of Cromwell is situated in Webmister Abbey (1658-1661). The date of death is wrong because he didn't die at the age of 3 years old. Be the late 1640s the greatest power in the land was the army. They were camped in Putney, southwest of London.In 1647 Cromwell invited soldiers from every regiment to meet-
Their job was to debate the polical future of England.
In the 1651 group of revolutionaries called diggers mongo into sant Greogie's hill, one of Enlgand's most exclusive golf club, and said the land was for everyone. To prove the point , they started planting vegetables.
It was a kind of commune everyone living togheter in peace and harmony.
Obvioslt the local landowners we're completely freaked out so they hired thugs to move the diggers off the land.
