Two farms leased by the Dorchester Labourers Farm Tribute for the Tollpuddle Martyrs on their return from transportation. George Loveless, James Brine and the Standfield family farmed New House Farm and a farm at High Laver until they emigrated to Canada. The farms became centres for union and chartist activity in the area.
