Adam Perrett of Dursley, Cordwainer; David Perrett, of Dursley, Common Brewer and James Mason of the City of Gloucester, Farmer signed the papers.
- Perry in his book ‘The Woollen Industry in Gloucestershire to 1914’ mentions:
‘Timothy Exell, known throughout the clothing districts as the ‘King of the Weavers’, and the other officials of the Union presented the clothiers with a list of minimum wage rates and awaited a response. The weavers were disappointed, for their demand coincided with the deepening of the financial crisis in early 1825, when all clothiers were in difficulties and many were going out of business. The weavers then decided to try to enforce their demand by means of strike action. Mass meetings were called and , on 29th April, six thousand workpeople gathered on Selsley Common near Stroud, and a further three thousand on Stinchcombe and Breakheart Hills between Dursley and Wotton-under-Edge; the numbers may have been exaggerated but the attendance was certainly impressive enough to alarm clothier-magistrates. It had been arranged that weavers should bring their shuttles with them and give them to union officials who buried them in secret places. All weaving was thus prevented, bringing the whole industry to a standstill. Large parties of weavers toured the valleys ‘persuading’ those who had not come to the meetings to surrender their shuttles; there seems to have been no actual violence. …’

‘In 1814 at the age of 70, Rowland Hill began to feel a little tired, so he engaged a young Welsh preacher, Theophilus Jones, to succeed him eventually at Wotton, but it was not to be for another nineteen years that Jones would have the chance to do so. When at last he did, the succession lasted only two weeks – by the cruellest of ironies the Welshman died of pneumonia contracted at Rowland Hill’s funeral in London.’ ….
