Cromwells' campaign table

I was perusing Twitter this morning and came upon a picture taken at Althorpe house which for the last few days has been hosting a literary festival, the post was by Suzannah Lipscomb and mentioned Paul Blezard, I duly asked if I could use the photo and very kindly Paul agreed, thank you Paul.

So pictured below is the table used by Cromwell to plan his campaigns, what a fantastic item and what tales it could tell.
