Oliver Cromwell's House in Ely, Cambridgeshire, England was the family home of Oliver Cromwell.{{Cite web|title=Oliver Cromwell's House|url=https://www.olivercromwellshouse.co.uk/|access-date=2021-09-17|website=www.olivercromwellshouse.co.uk}}{{NHLE|desc=Oliver Cromwell's House, Ely |num=1126467|access-date=2021-09-17}} The kitchen dates from around 1215, other parts being built later. The house was the vicarage of St Mary's Church (which is adjacent to it) until 1986. In 1988 it was bought by the City of Ely Council and was opened as a tourist attraction in 1990, and has been refurbished to show how it may have looked during Cromwell's lifetime."Cromwell's family home", p.78, BBC History magazine, December 2004

The former Lord Protector's family home is his only residence still in existence other than Hampton Court.{{citation needed|date=November 2020}} Following a 2019 refurbishment the House now has a completely re-vamped Civil War exhibition with interactive displays and interpretations.{{Cite web|last=Britain|first=Discover|date=2015-03-20|title=Oliver Cromwell's House, Ely|url=https://www.discoverbritainmag.com/oliver_cromwell_s_house_ely_1_4002824/|access-date=2021-09-17|website=Discover Britain}}{{Cite web |title=Cromwell's House in Ely set to welcome visitors again after major refurbishment is completed - and you can still vote hero or villain |url=https://www.elystandard.co.uk/news/22761960.cromwells-house-ely-set-welcome-visitors-major-refurbishment-completed---can-still-vote-hero-villain/ |access-date=2023-04-10 |website=Ely Standard |date=March 2019 }}{{Cite web |date=2019-03-29 |title=Cromwell’s house is re-opened by Earl Spencer |url=https://www.suffolknews.co.uk/newmarket/news/cromwell-s-house-is-re-opened-by-earl-spencer-9065732/ |access-date=2024-12-19 |website=Suffolk News }}
