Hinchingbrooke House in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, was built around an 11th-century Benedictine nunnery. After the Reformation it passed into the hands of the Cromwell family, and subsequently, became the home of the Earls of Sandwich, including John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, reputedly the "inventor" of the modern sandwich. On 8 March 1538, Richard Williams had the grant of the nunnery of Hinchinbrooke, in Huntingdonshire, for the undervalued price of £19. 9s. 2d. while he was an official Visitor overseeing the dissolution of the monasteries. His son, Henry Williams —a grandfather of Oliver Cromwell—built the house adjoining to the nunnery, and upon the bow windows he put the arms of his family, with those of several others to whom he was allied.There was a serious fire in 1830 and the house was restored/rebuilt by Edward Blore; it was further restored in 1894 and again in the 1960s. During the most recent restoration the entrance to the chapter house was discovered, but otherwise little of the medieval fabric is visible.In 1970, it became part of Hinchingbrooke School, housing the 6th form. Hinchingbrooke School was formerly Huntingdon Grammar School which, on the site of what is now the Cromwell Museum in Huntingdon, was attended by Oliver Cromwell and Samuel Pepys. The school now has around 1900 pupils.More recently, while still being used as a school, Hinchingbrooke House is turned into a critically acclaimed scare attraction in the Halloween season called 'The Horror at Hinchingbrooke House'. It is also used as a conference centre, and is also for, dinner dances and as a wedding venue. It is a Grade I listed building and is open for tours on Sunday afternoons in the summer season.

The Guardian es un diario británico. Se le conoció desde 1821 hasta 1959 como el Manchester Guardian. Junto con sus periódicos hermanos The Observer y The Guardian Weekly, The Guardian es parte del Guardian Media Group, propiedad del Scott Trust. El Scott Trust fue creada en 1936 "para asegurar la independencia financiera y editorial de The Guardian a perpetuidad y para salvaguardar la libertad periodística y los valores liberales de The Guardian libres de interferencia comercial o política". El Scott Trust se convirtió en una sociedad anónima en 2008, con una constitución escrita para proyectar las mismas protecciones para The Guardian que fueron originalmente construidas en la misma estructura ideada por sus creadores. Los beneficios se reinvierten en el periodismo en lugar de beneficiar a un propietario o accionistas.[1] Los lectores del periódico generalmente están en la izquierda del espectro político de la opinión política británica.[2][3] La reputación del periódico como una plataforma para la editorial liberal y de izquierda ha llevado al uso del "lector del Guardian" y "Guardianista" como epítetos peyorativos a menudo para aquellos de tendencia izquierdista o tendencias políticamente correctas.[4][5][6] The Guardian está editado por Katharine Viner, que sucedió a Alan Rusbridger en 2015.[7][8] En 2016, la edición impresa de The Guardian tuvo una circulación diaria promedio de aproximadamente 162,000 copias en el país, detrás de The Daily Telegraph y The Times.[9] Desde 2018 ha sido publicado en formato tabloide. El periódico tiene una edición en línea del Reino Unido, así como dos sitios web internacionales, Guardian Australia y Guardian US . La edición en línea del periódico fue la quinta más leída en el mundo en octubre de 2014, con más de 42,6 millones de lectores.[10] Sus ediciones impresas y en línea combinadas llegan a casi 9 millones de lectores británicos.[11] Las primicias notables incluyen el escándalo por escuchas telefónicas y hackeo de celulares de 2011 por parte de News International, en particular el hackeo del teléfono de la adolescente inglesa asesinada Milly Dowler.[12] La investigación llevó al cierre del periódico dominical más vendido del Reino Unido, y uno de los periódicos de mayor circulación en el mundo, News of the World.[13] The Guardian también publicó noticias de la colección secreta de registros telefónicos de Verizon en poder de la administración del presidente estadounidense Barack Obama en junio de 2013,[14] y posteriormente reveló la existencia del programa de vigilancia PRISM después de que se filtrara al periódico por el informante de la NSA, Edward Snowden.[15] En 2016, lideró la investigación de los Panama Papers, exponiendo los vínculos del entonces primer ministro británico David Cameron con cuentas bancarias offshore. The Guardian ha sido nombrado Periódico del Año cuatro veces en los Premios anuales de la prensa británica, el más reciente en 2014 por informar sobre la vigilancia gubernamental.[16] Debido a la frecuencia de los errores tipográficos del papel, en la década de 1960 la revista de noticias satírica y de actualidad Private Eye lo denominó The Grauniad, un apodo que todavía se usa en la actualidad.[17]

Lleva el nombre de Sir Robert Geffrye, antiguo Lord Mayor de Londres y director de la Ironmongers' Company.[1] En el museo se exponen muebles, textiles y pinturas. Muestra la evolución del estilo doméstico inglés a través de once habitaciones decoradas en estilos que van desde el 1600 hasta el año 2000.[1][2] El énfasis está puesto en la decoración de interiores de las clases medias, en lugar de los muebles de la realeza y la aristocracia que suele verse en los museos de artes decorativas.[3] Cuenta con una amplia biblioteca y un archivo comercial de mobiliario. En él se dictan talleres y conferencias,[4] y se realizan exposiciones temporarias sobre temas relacionados con la muestra permanente del museo. Una de ellas es Christmas Past, en la que las habitaciones son decoradas para reflejar 400 años de tradiciones de Navidad en los hogares ingleses.[5]
The Garden Museum in London is Britain's only museum of the art, history and design of gardens. The museum re-opened in 2017 after an 18-month redevelopment project.The building is largely the Victorian reconstruction of the Church of St Mary-at-Lambeth which was deconsecrated in 1972 and was scheduled to be demolished. It is adjacent to Lambeth Palace on the south bank of the River Thames in London, on Lambeth Road. In 1976, John and Rosemary Nicholson traced the tomb of the two 17th-century royal gardeners and plant hunters John Tradescant the Elder and the Younger to the churchyard, and were inspired to create the Museum of Garden History. It was the first museum in the world dedicated to the history of gardening.The Museum's main gallery is on the first floor, in the body of the church. The collection includes tools, art, and ephemera of gardening, including a gallery about garden design and the evolution of gardening, as well as a recreation of Tradescant's 17th-century Ark. The collections give an insight into the social history of gardening as well as the practical aspects of the subject. There are three temporary exhibition spaces which look at various aspects of plants and gardens and change every six months The redevelopment of the Museum, completed in 2017, included two new garden designs. The Sackler Garden, designed by Dan Pearson sits at the centre of the courtyard, replacing the knot garden, and the Museum's front garden is designed by Christopher Bradley-Hole. In 2006, Christopher Woodward, formerly director of the Holburne Museum in Bath, Somerset, was appointed as the director of the Garden Museum.
