A house which has links to the Gunpowder Plot and which Oliver Cromwell once slept in is up for sale. The Ducks Nest, in Oundle in Northamptonshire, was owned by the parents of one of the plotters.
It was owned by Sir Thomas Tresham, whose son Francis was embroiled in the plot, until 1564. It later became a pub - the Anchor Inn - in which Cromwell, Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England, Scotland and Ireland, once stayed.
The three-bedroom house, which is a Grade II listed building, is on the market for £700,000. Estate agent Molly Thomas, who is working with the house for Fine & Country, said: "The first thing people say when they see the house is that they love the history of the place.
