George Loveless cottage, now known as Pixies Cottage in Main Road,Tolpuddle For decades historians struggled to identify this cottage as the original home of the leader of the Tolpuddle Martyrs. The home of George Loveless, leader of the men who founded the modern trade movement, was thought to have been pulled down. But in 2009 it was claimed to have been this cottage in Tolpuddle. George Loveless is credited with leading the outlawed agricultural workers’ society in the 1830s. In a 1934 interview with a Mrs Hammett, believed to be a niece of one of the martyrs, she said the Loveless’ cottage had been pulled down.
