Ann Talbot has misled you. Luddism was a phenomenon of the
late stages of the war against Napoleonic France, which ended in 1815. Chartism
and opposition to the new Poor Law came after the Great Reform Act of 1832. The
People's Charter was published in 1837 and Chartism itself lasted until c.1850.
The New Poor Law creating Unions of parishes was passed in 1834.
