Denton and his family stayed in this Cotswold hotel in 1924. Tracing its roots back to the 1300s, Oliver Cromwell stayed there the night before the Battle of Worcester in 1651, and it was also the meeting place for King Charles I and his supporters. Resolutely impartial!
“We went to all the places that Americans and strangers go to. We stayed at the Lygon Arms and I was spellbound as a pretty American told me, while we were sitting in front of an enormous fireplace, that she had Cromwell’s room. She said that it was the only one which hadn’t been fitted with electric light, as this might have spoilt the atmosphere”
