The quarry at the west end forms the most picturesque portion of the park, and here is placed an ancient archway, removed from the Nun's Gardens, on the Walls, near the Castle. Adjoining the Park is the venerable church and romantic ruins of the Priory of St. John, founded by King Ethelred in 689. It was formerly the cathedral of the diocese, and is the most interesting of our ecclesiastical structures, and connected with great historic events, referred to in the sketch of ecclesiastical history. A flight of steps at each end of the churchyard leads to the Groves, a pleasant promenade, the river, where boats and barges can be hired, or a trip to Eccleston or Eaton Hall in the steamer.

"Chartism was a Victorian era working class movement for political reform in Britain between 1838 and 1848. It takes its name from the People's Charter of 1838. The term "Chartism" is the umbrella name for numerous loosely coordinated local groups, often named "Working Men's Association," articulating grievances in many cities from 1837. Its peak activity came in 1839, 1842 and 1848. It began among skilled artisans in small shops, such as shoemakers, printers, and tailors. The movement was more aggressive in areas with many distressed handloom workers, such as in Lancashire and the Midlands. It began as a petition movement which tried to mobilize "moral force", but soon attracted men who advocated strikes, General strikes and physical violence, such as Feargus O'Connor and known as "physical force" chartists."--Wikipedia
