Six For The Tolpuddle Martyrs: The Epic Struggle for Justice and Freedom
In 1834 six farm labourers from the Dorset hamlet of Tolpuddle were arrested for belonging to a “friendly society”, a forerunner to a trade union. The six, commemorated in British history as the Tolpuddle Martyrs, were sentenced to seven years in an Australian penal colony although they were later pardoned. The Tolpuddle Martyrs have inspired generations of trade unionists and this excellent book delves deeper into their story than ever before.
