LETTER: Cromwell's castles
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Mr Donald Foreman
Sir: Mrs M. J. Fox (Letters, 1 February) seems to suggest that because during the reign of Henry VIII monasteries were suppressed, the Prince of Wales's call for lottery money to be spent on religious buildings should be seen as some form of atonement. If so, perhaps descendants of the Cromwell family would like to give their support to the restoration of the cathedrals, churches and castles which suffered damage, even destruction, during Britain's mercifully brief experiment with republicanism.
Yours faithfully,
Donald Foreman
