Dist:0.3km<br/>The Chartist estate at Snigs End extended to over 268 acres around the village of Staunton and was built between 1847 and 1851. The 81 plot development included cottages to a common design (as seen here), a schoolhouse and a network of roads and pathways. The original settlers won their cottage with a 3 or 4 acre plot through a lottery and were provided with supplies of manure, firewood and seed. In 1848, the third National Chartist petition was taken to Parliament on a cart made at Snigs End and pulled by Snigs End horses. The "colonies" were declared illegal by a House of Commons Select Committee in 1851 and the properties sold off. Their founding light, Feargus O'Connor, died shortly after declared a lunatic.
