The house got the name because Oliver Cromwell was suppose to have stopped there, the picture on the Arlington Hotel sign is that of Cromwell. The house is an early 18th Century dwelling which was once used by Roman Catholics as a secret place of worship, when their religion was proscribed, perhaps as Cromwell was the antithesis of Roman Catholics his name was used to describe a safe house?&nbsp;&nbsp;It once contained stained glass from Handale Priory&nbsp;and still includes stone taken from there (from Loftus Town Trail). John Stockwell tells us: \u201dHugh W. Cook of Redcar writing of his meeting with&nbsp;the Dowager Marchioness of Zetland at Marske House in 1933, (\u2018The Cleveland Standard\u2019: 07\/01\/1933) tells of \u2018Some very fine stained glass window glass was also pointed out to me, some of which came from Cromwell\u2019s House at Loftus\u2019. John comments: \u201d&nbsp;If the original glass came from Handale this would perhaps explain the interest in acquiring it.\u201d Holly Enticknap has happy memories having lived in the house and of :&#8221;A neighbour from number 3 called Dennis, sitting on his doorstep with his two dogs; one called &#8216;Rip'&#8221;.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Image courtesy of Eileen Hicks; also thanks to John Stockwell and Holly Enticknap for for the updates.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<p>An early photoraph of East Crescent; with 1 East Crescent (also known as Cromwell House) in the&nbsp;left photograph and for a long time was home to the Lindsey family, Joe, Harold and Bernard the builders and their parents.
