TOLPUDDLE MARTYRS
At dawn on 24 February, 1834, six farm labourers from the small Dorsetshire village of Tolpuddle were arrested on the charge of having participated in the administration of an illegal oath - although their real crime in the eyes of the establishment was having formed a trade union, which by this date they were legally entitled to do. They were subsequently sentenced to seven years transportation to the penal colonies of New South Wales and Van Dieman's Land.
The Tolpuddle Martyrs would overtime be the focus for the fight for agricultural unionism and martyrs for the general cause.

Pidela - the account of Tolpuddle Dorset from early times.
Quote: Early records taken from the Victoria County History, show that King Canute, by a charter dated 1024 bestowed lands on his servant Orc. He was given several villages in Dorset and Orc's wife, Tola who was a native of Rouen, Normandy purchased Pidele. Orc and Tola had no children and so they gave their lands into the care of the monks. Tola gave Tolpuddle into the care of the church of St. Peter at Abbotsbury and it is the general belief that Tolpuddle derived it's name from the lady of Tola. This would appear to be when and how our village was born - in title anyway!! Unquote:
