Never chuck your old wellies away - you never know what they'll be worth one day.
This pair of boots, thought to have belonged to Oliver Cromwell, went under the hammer yesterday for £3800.
The 60cm high "leather postillion's boots" smashed the estimate of £300-£500 when they were sold by auctioneers Dreweatts at Donnington Priory.
They had been displayed in the hall at Wormsley Park and formed part of a collection of items described as forming "a quintessentially English country house sale".
