  • 4. the WILTSHIRE RIOTS12 the Wiltshire Labourers Like Those In
    4. THE WILTSHIRE RIOTS12 The Wiltshire labourers like those in other counties were drawn into the riots by the activities emanating in neighbouring Hampshire and Berkshire. But they also had their own particular local grievances which served as an immediate spur to action. The wages demanded in these counties were 2s. a day, whereas the demands in Kent and usually in Sussex had been for 2s 6d or 2s. 3d. Wages had fallen to a lower level in Hampshire, Berkshire and Wiltshire. Wages in Wiltshire were notoriously low. The normal weekly rate for an able bodied man in full employment in Wiltshire was 7s.or 8s in winter or 8s or 9s in summer, and Colonel Mair, the second officer sent down by the Home Office, reported that wages were sometimes as low as 6s. It is therefore not surprising to learn that in two parishes the labourers instead of asking for 2s a day, asked only for 8s or 9s a week. A letter to The Times from Melksham Wilts at the end of November claimed that there were fifty poor men in the parish without wife or children who were working for 8d per day. Henry Hunt, an MP, who traveled through Wiltshire related how he was told on 20 November “We don‟t want to do any mischief, but we want that poor children when they go to bed should have a full belly of tatoes instead of crying with half a belly full.‟ Given these conditions the labourers’ attentions settled on threshing machines, and in Wiltshire, more than in any other county, these became the rioters’ main target.

    Maiden Bradley Parish News No 326 August 2016 All Saint’s Flower Festival - Winner of the Visitors’ Choice Royal Ascot by Sue Priestner Editorial I hope that you are enjoying the warm summer weather as much as I am especially as it is only 5 months to Christmas. Schools are now on their summer recess and families will be going on holiday. If like us, you are travelling by car, do make sure that your car has a current MOT certificate. Dates for insurance, tax and MOT rarely coincide and don’t get caught out like we did, on the side of the French motorway, a car without power. The petrol pump decided to die as I was overtaking a lorry with several cars following me – I managed to switch on the hazard warning lights and drifted behind the lorry onto the hard shoulder, and stop. Recovery was excellent, spare parts available and in three days our wheels were restored to us. Despite pay- ing our tax and insurance, our MOT had already run out leaving us without cover – all now rectified. Since last month, we have a new Prime Minister and Cabinet with a mandate to take us out of the European Union. Whichever way you voted, I am sure that you would agree with me in not envying Boris Johnson and his team in trying to unravel over 40 years of trade agreements, production directives and laws, and produce an improved trading platform for our industries without damaging the economy. Each year that goes by there are local individuals who spend time quietly working voluntarily, in support of this village.
