Huntingdon, in Cambridgeshire, had a population of around 24,000 at the 2021 census — a market town on the Great Ouse best known as the birthplace of one of England's most consequential historical figures.
The birthplace of Oliver Cromwell
Oliver Cromwell was born in Huntingdon in 1599 and grew up in the town, later attending Huntingdon Grammar School. That school building, founded originally as the Hospital of St John, now houses the Cromwell Museum, telling the story of his early life before his rise to lead Parliament's forces in the Civil War and later become Lord Protector. Huntingdon's Cromwell connection remains one of its defining historical associations.
What that history doesn't leave behind
Huntingdon's Cromwell connection doesn't come with a dedicated bulk sweet shop — there's nowhere locally set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines at scale.
