What was notable about his decapitation? > He had been dead since 1658. 4 for Dan Blum, Bruce, and Dan Tilque. Item of probably no interest:- The Junior school I attended in South London was in a very old building that was once a private dwelling. Many corridors, staircases and vast hallways (think Hogwarts). Legend has it that one previous owner of the house was one of the many people that purchased and sold Cromwell's head over the years and the place was haunted. I never personally saw Cromwell's ghost, although many of my schoolmates did. At age seven I believed them. Perhaps I still do. -- "To err, as they say, is human. To forgive is divine.
