## Activities

**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.

**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.
