Hall (1802–1867, after whom "Big Ben" is said to have been named, as he was Commissioner of Works in 1855 when it was built), was for some years Member of Parliament for Monmouth, but transferred to a London seat just prior to the Newport Rising which brought with it a turbulent time in Monmouthshire.
The ensuing violence, known as the Newport Rising, was a chapter in the ongoing struggle between the British government and a group of reformists called Chartists.
