Well you cannot miss his statue outside Westminster, outside the Houses of Parliament was commissioned in 1894 by the Liberal Prime Minister, Lord Rosebery to mark the 300th anniversary of Cromwell's birth in 1599. The statue, by Hamo Thorneycroft, shows Cromwell holding a sword and a Bible, his head bowed in thought. According to one view, this is to avoid the accusing gaze of King Charles, whose bust is on the wall of St Margaret’s Church, directly opposite. It is often remarked that he is the only "monarch" outside the palace for dubious reason, all other proper monarchs are inside.
Popular figure to we English but not so to the Irish, but he did rather ban Christmas and things like generally being happy ..... so an acquired taste to those around in his day !!
