Welsh Oak (pub)

Unreferenced|date=May 2007The Welsh Oak is a pub located in Pontymister, South Wales in the United Kingdom.

This was the final meeting place of John Frost, Zephaniah Williams and William Jones, all members of the Chartist movement in South Wales in the 1830s prior to and during the Newport Rising of 1839.

Each man headed up a column of men all supporting the movement of Chartism. After spending the night at the Welsh Oak the combined columns moved on to the Westgate Hotel, Newport, where they were met by soldiers and a battle ensued.
