Cromwell Museum in Huntingdon threatened with closure

The Cromwell Museum in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire could fall victim to budget cuts as the county council tries to save £149m over the next five years.

The museum, once the school where Oliver Cromwell was educated, attracts about 13,000 visitors a year with annual running costs of £20,000.

Now the council says it will close in 2018 unless another group takes over management and funding.

Campaigners to keep it open say the museum gives value for money.
