He received vast wealth from his uncle Richard Warren, but dissipated the money and sold his estates to pay his debts.  Oliver was a knight of the Bath.  The King stayed many times at his home in 1603, 05, 16, 17 and possibly many others on his way north to hunt.  Oliver was created Knight of the Bath.  He was a member of the House of Commons, Queen Anne' s attorney in 1604.  Oliver sold Hunchenbrook.  He was a subscriber toward Virginia.

He captured between three and four hundred Scottish prisoners, at the battles of Dunbar and Worcester.  These Cromwell transported to New England to be sold as slaves. ; He had defeated the Royalists in England and beheaded the King in 1649.  Then he proceeded to the conquest of Ireland.

Sir Henry Cromwell's eldest two sons - Oliver and Robert (father of the great Oliver Cromwell ) both matriculated at Queens' early in 1579 (a year before their cousin Henry).  A third son , yet another Henry, went to St John's College, Oxford, where he became a Fellow.  He served a s MP for Huntingdonshire and was one of the gentlemen adventurers who financed the colonisati on and planting of Virginia. The next brother, Richard, was also an MP during the reign of El izabeth I.  The fifth brother, Philip Cromwell, followed Henry to St John's, Oxford, and was knighted by James I.  The fate of his sons, all first cousins of the Protector, illustrates the terrible divisions in families caused by the Civil War.  The eldest surviving son, Philip Cromwell, was a Major in the Parliamentary Army.  He died of wounds sustained in the storming of Bristol.  The next son, Thomas, was a Colonel in the opposing Royalist Army.  The third son, Oliver, was an MP and also a Colonel in the Parliamentary Army. ; Sir Philip's youngest son Richard wisely kept out of the military and at the Restoration rapidly changed his name back to Williams.

Sir Oliver Cromwell, the famous Oliver's uncle, was also his godfather.  He was a long-serving MP for Huntingdonshire in the reigns of Elizabeth I, James I and Charles I over at least 36 years and inevitably Sheriff of Hunts and Cambs.  He is best remembered for his extraordinarily lavish entertainment of James I at Hinchinbrook House on the King's progress south from Scotland on his accession to the English throne in 1603.  He was rewarded with a gold cup, some choice horses, hounds and hawks and a Knighthood of the Bath.  It was to Hinchinbrook that the representatives of Cambridge University came to pay their respects to the new King.  James I returned to stay with Sir Oliver on at least three more occasions, as probably did Charles I. Sir Oliver was briefly Attorney to Queen Anne of Denmark, a Commissioner for draining the Fens and also subscribed to the Virginia venture.  However, his extravagance was his undoing . In 1627 he was forced to sell Hinchinbrook House to Sir Sidney Montagu.  He withdrew from public service, sold most of the rest of his estates and retired to Ramsey.  At the outbreak of the Civil War he supported the Royalist cause with all the resources at his disposal. He raised men, gave money, obliged his sons to take up arms and incurred the ire of Parliament.  They sent his nephew, Oliver, with a troop of horse to remonstrate.  Oliver disarmed the old knight, seized his plate, but also asked for his godfatherly blessing. ; Nevertheless, old Sir Oliver persisted in his support of the Royalists, even as their cause waned. This time, the younger Oliver threatened to burn down Ramsey.  He parleyed with his uncle on the town bridge an d extracted a fine of ?1,000 and 40 saddle horses.  Sir Oliver was unrepentant, supporting the Royalist cause to the end.  Parliament voted to sequester all his estates, but, through the intervention of his nephew, by now Lieutenant-General of Ireland, the order was reversed.  The old man made no attempt to court favour with the Protector and insisted that the flags taken by his sons from Parliamentary forces remain hanging in Ramsey church.  He died oppressed with his debts in August 1655 aged 92.  He was remembered for his prodigious hospitality, his loyalty to the Crown, his upright dealings and his vivacity, but also for dissipating his property and impoverishing his family.
