- Staunton was a chosen location for a Chartist settlement in the 19th Century.
Followers of Chartism aimed to solve the problems induced by the Industrial Revolution, by
bringing people back to the land, under controlled conditions. Unfortunately for
Chartist Idealists, and the people they aimed to help,
The Chartism Movement
failed, but the evidence of the attempt to establish a community at Staunton still
remains - for instance in "Chartist Road", on a new-ish housing estate, and with
surviving Chartist cottages, for example
Kilmorie Smallholding, now a Grade II Listed Building.
