In a website I was looking at concerning Dinton Church, it made the intriguing assertion that it was likely Oliver Cromwell actually worshipped there-when he visited his friend Simon Mayne, the Lord of the Manor.
Even though Cromwell only ruled for five years as Lord Protector, his controversial legacy is such, that even 350 years after his death, his name still stirs up strong feeling. During those five momentous, turbulent years, Cromwell overturned Parliament, signed the death warrant of Charles 1st, fought bloody battles in England, Ireland & Scotland, turned England into a Republican Commonwealth....and also it seems, visited Dinton Church.
