About Fencing in Chard
Chard in Somerset became a centre of the lace making industry from 1819, when workers fleeing Luddite unrest in the Midlands brought their skills and machinery south, and the trade grew into a major local employer through the Victorian era. The town also holds a claim to aviation history, as local inventor John Stringfellow achieved the first sustained powered flight of a model aeroplane inside a disused lace mill in 1848, an achievement now marked by a bronze model standing on Fore Street.
