Northborough Manor, Peterborough, built between 1333 and 1336. The Manor comprises of two buildings - an eight-bedroom main manor and a separate four-bedroom Gatehouse. The manor also has a library, 1.5 acre garden, a dovecote and stables.

Oliver Cromwell's daughter Elizabeth & her husband John Claypole first moved into the property after the English Civil War - which ended in 1651.

According to some reports, Cromwell even spent a Christmas at the Manor with his daughter and in-laws. He stayed in a room called 'Cromwell's Closet' where his widow, who moved to the manor after her husband's death, later died.
The manor was eventually sold by John Claypole before his death in 1688 and restored by architect Roy Genders in the nineteen seventies.

According to the current owners, the ghost of Elizabeth has reportedly been seen walking in the courtyard at midnight - but they say they have never experienced any ghostly encounters.
