This commemorative plaque records: The beginnings of female emancipation in the UK originate in this field in Lydgate where, on 4 May 1818, women were first recorded as being given the opportunity to vote in a political meeting. The meeting was organised by a radical reformer, Samuel Bamford, and is recorded in the National Archive Recorded plaque organisation: Oldham Council.
