EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the intricately carved staircase located in Cromwell House, situated at 104 Highgate Hill in North London. According to tradition, this 17th century mansion was a gift from Oliver Cromwell to his eldest daughter Bridget, who was married to General Ireton around the year 1630. The ornate wooden staircase, adorned with carved figures of soldiers from the Commonwealth period and various designs of warfare, is a testament to the rich history of this British heritage site. However, at the time this photograph was taken, an American relic hunter expressed interest in purchasing the staircase and transporting it to the United States. The potential sale sparked controversy, as many believed the historic artifact should remain in its original location for future generations to appreciate. The carvings on the staircase depict various aspects of warfare, including soldiers in armor and weapons, adding to the historical significance of the piece. The wooden staircase, with its intricate designs and ornate details, is a true masterpiece of 17th century craftsmanship. Despite the efforts of the American relic hunter, the staircase remains in Cromwell House, a cherished piece of British history that continues to draw visitors from around the world. This photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving historical artifacts and the role they play in shaping our understanding of the past.
