The Chartist leader Zephaniah Williams lived at no. 10. He was leader of the local Chartists who marched to Newport in November 1839. This led to a number of the Chartists being shot and killed by soldiers. He was convicted for high treason and sentenced to death by hanging, drawing and quartering but this was later commuted to transportation to Australia. Image Image Image Image
