The Chartist Movement","description":"<p>On 27 July 1877, John Frost - Chartist leader and the man who, more than anyone else, reflected the desire of the Welsh working classes to obtain universal manhood suffrage - died quietly at his home in Bristol. It had been a wild, troubled and often dangerous life.</p>\n<p>Establishing himself as a prominent Chartist, he was elected in 1835 as a town councillor &nbsp;for Newport and appointed as a magistrate. He also became an Improvement Commissioner &amp; Poor Law Guardian and the following year became Mayor of Newport but his strong political leanings meant that he had to stand down.</p>\n<p>On 3\u20134 November 1839 John Frost, together with William Jones and Zephaniah Williams, led a Chartist march on the Westgate Inn in Newport. What happened next was a mixture of bad luck and unfortunate timing which led to the biggest change in John Frost's life, but not his determination to help others.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><strong>THIS PODCAST</strong></p>\n<p>This podcast has been specially edited from a Bradley Stoke Radio show in Bristol, England.
