Built in the 13th Century as the vicarage for St. Mary’s church, Oliver Cromwell lived in this house with his family from 1636 to 1647 as 'Collector of the Tithes' for two parishes. In 1843 the house became The Cromwell’s Arms inn and then in the early 20th Century was altered to the Victorian fashion of mock-Tudor half-timbering. Reputedly haunted, the building is now home to the Tourist Information centre and has been refurbished in Stuart style incorporating audio-visual displays depicting the life and times of the Lord Protector.
