In June 1839 an association of Chartists was established in Harleston
but they refused use of the Two Brewers to hold their meetings by the landlord, Robert Mason and threats from the
magistrates.
In March 1841, Walter Mason (a relation of Robert?) was reported to have said
"The Charter - the
Charter soon, soon must be law!"
In 1844, Lloyds Weekly Newspaper reported that `A history of the
Chartist Movement, in manuscript, written by Walter Mason, of Harleston,
was received and it is the intention of the Marylebone Chartists to
publish it in weekly numbers'.
