English:
Newton rebellion stone by Newton Field Centre commemorating the Newton Rebellion on 8th June 1607.
In the early years of the reign of King James I, powerful midlands landowners started enclosing common land for their estates, locally this was the Treshams of Rushton and their cousins at Newton. Large protest gatherings of thousands of peasants took place, led by Captain Pouch and calling themselves diggers and levellers. James I issued a proclamation for the suppression of the Midland Revolt on 30th May 1607 and on 8th June a huge protest at Newton by over a thousand peasants was brutally dispersed by an army raised by the Treshams as over 40 of the protesters were killed. The ringleaders were captured and imprisoned in St.Faith's church before being tried, hanged and quartered.
