Members’ Evening “Interesting Ancestors”
‘Bringing You Up to Date on past, recent Archaeological Work in Dorset’ by Steve Wallis
Malcolm Angel “Isaac Gulliver”
The Georgian courtroom in Shire Hall was the scene of many famous and infamous trials, the most famous being that of the six agricultural labourers known as the Tolpuddle Martyrs. This talk looks at the background to their story, the punishment they endured and the changes these ordinary Dorset working men made to their local area and to society as a whole.
Speaker: Anne Brown
