		So it was with some seasonal desperation that we sought out St Mary's Putney and the sanctuary of its Cromwell Room, a glass-fronted soundproof haven which stands where the chancel and altar did before the church was burnt down in the 1970s.
		This was where the "Putney Debates" on the future government of Britain took place during the Civil War, when Cromwell's army was stationed briefly at Putney.

		During the third day of the Putney Debates, attention is drawn to the so-called "Norman yoke" by appealing to historical precedents (20) rather than the "law of nature", so than nature and grace is only a part.
		Just as the Putney and Whitehall Debates were preceded by prayer sessions and concern was shown that what was determined would be favoured by God, that same conviction permeated early Congress meetings.
		The Putney and Whitehall Debates were only released by historians in the late 19th century, and popularised by Woodhouse in the twentieth century, so they could have had no influence on the American revolutionary era.

		If you feel you need to dress up at a social event, the Putney Munch team recommends the Watford Munch, the London Fetish Fair, or the Birmingham Bizaar Bazaar, which are all fetish dress and TV friendly.
