Pendy. I’m prepared to consider that the monks may have been priests or possible catholic lay preachers, but what ever they where I think there’s a possible link between the myth and actuality. Mr Cromwell was a puritan and he didn’t particularly like those of that persuasion did he?

So I would suggest if the nice gentleman of history did come across a couple of Monks, Priests or those of catholic faith, he may well have had it off with there heads don’t you think?...

Has anyone else heard of this tale?

Do you realise that Mr Cromwell was a puritan extremist and would have been class as a terrorist had he been alive today. And of the reformation, was that not a religious form of ethnic cleansing.
