Hello there, My daughter, Alice Butler, and I have received a commission about the 1839 Newport Rising (the last armed insurrection on British soil): creating the voices, textually, of George Shell (shot by troops - real person) and Charlotte-Alice Bingham (who tried to staunch his wounds - fictive). I am compiling a list of all the pubs in the area that were involved in the Rising and intend to walk them next spring/summer. Local historians are helping me along the way. I intend to visit alone, or in small groups, and then have a sort of Chartist Convention group pilgrimage, with podcasting etc. If there is anyone in WAN in South Wales who might be interested in this, then please contact me at [log in to unmask] Many thanks, Stuart (Butler) www.radicalstroud.co.uk<http://www.radicalstroud.co.uk> Radical Stroud<http://www.radicalstroud.co.uk/> www.radicalstroud.co.uk by Stuart Butler | 15th October 2017 | Walks | 0 Comments.
