THE TOLPUDDLE MARTYRS
The story of the Tolpuddle Martyrs, and how they dared to not only ask for more pay, but also set up a union, is one that makes for very interesting reading. I can thoroughly recommend a visit to the following sites: Each year during July, the story of the Tolpuddle martyrs is commemorated by holding a day of festivities and celebration. A number of members of this branch attended Tolpuddle last year. For a number of us it was our first visit. Many others have been going for more years than they care to admit to. Below are a number of photographs that I took on the day.
