Hinchingbrooke House
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hinchingbrooke House in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, was built around an 11th century 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, reputed inventor of the sandwich. 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 1800 pupils and sports college status.
Some students have noted the quality of the catering the school is reputed to offer. However, this may be in jest.
