A talk about the Swing Riots by Dr David Peacock, who has promised us a connection to The Hinds Head in Aldermaston

This meeting is free for AHG members and a meeting fee of £5 for non-members.

The Swing Riots were a widespread uprising in 1830 by agricultural workers in southern and eastern England in protest of agricultural mechanisation and harsh working conditions. 

Previously Dr David Peacock gave the History group a talk on Padworth House and then subsequently lead a party of members in a tour of the house.
