Lord David Renton, (left), former MP for Huntingdon, Anne Campbell,

Oliver Cromwell in the 17th century), and Geoffrey Bush, (right),
descendant of Oliver Cromwell, helped to launch the national leaflet
for the 400th anniversary by the Cromwell statue at Westminster on
Wednesday 2nd December 1998.
The Quatercentenary year was launched with two receptions, at
Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire, and at Westminster. Local and national
politicians, representatives of heritage organisations, the tourist
trade and the press, joined with historians to mark the publication
of the national leaflet.
The leaflet, with a print run of 200,000, is being widely
distributed to Tourist Information Centres, museums and libraries.
It lists all of the major events of the year. Copies are available
from the Cromwell Museum, Grammar School Walk, Huntingdon,
