Charles Bradlaugh monument
Charles Bradlaugh, the son of a solicitor's clerk, was born in Hoxton, London on 26th September, 1833. Bradlaugh had tried several times to be elected to represent Northampton in Parliament. He was eventually elected in 1880, but as he was not a Christian he asked for permission to affirm rather the oath of office. The Speaker of the House of Commons refused this request and Bradlaugh was expelled from Parliament. William Gladstone, the Prime Minister, supported Bradlaugh's right to affirm, but he had upset a lot of people with his views on Christianity, the monarchy and birth control and when the issue was put before Parliament, MPs voted to support the Speaker's decision to expel him. Gladstone's Affirmation Bill was discussed by Parliament in the spring of 1883. The Archbishop of Canterbury and Cardinal Manning, head of the Catholic Church, argued against the right of atheists to be MPs and when the vote was taken in May 1883, the Affirmation Bill was defeated. In 1884 Bradlaugh was once again elected to represent Northampton in the House of Commons. He took his seat and voted three times before he was excluded. He was later fined £1,500 for voting illegally.

Building at Chapel Place
This has clearly been a warehouse or industrial building at some stage, and seems to be the only traditional stone building in the immediate area.

Terrace on York Road
Seen from the St Michael's multi-storey car park. Most of these premises are now business premises rather than residential. It is interesting to note the varied treatment of the chimney stacks and the dormer windows.
