Activities

The Ascott Martyrs were sixteen women who were imprisoned in 1873 for supporting striking farm workers in the Oxfordshire village of Ascott Under Wychwood. The traumatic event led to a major riot in Chipping Norton and a reprieve from Queen Victoria. Their legacy today is that picketing was made legal in 1874 and local religious leaders were phased out of being magistrates.

Objects: To Advance The Education Of The Public In The Subject Of The Ascott Martyrs By The Provision Of Such Educational Material And Research As The Trustees Deem Fit.
