Cromwellian Conversations 18: Did Oliver Cromwell ban Christmas?

It's one of the things that everyone thinks they know about Oliver Cromwell, that he banned Christmas? But did he really? Cromwell Museum Curator Stuart Orme looks at the real story behind the Christmas ban, whether Cromwell actually had an involvement with it, and asks if he really did wage war on Mince Pies!
