Sacheverell riots, 1710. These erupted in London's West End on the night of 1/2 March 1710 following the third day of the impeachment of Dr Henry Sacheverell. This outspoken high Anglican Oxford don was on trial at Westminster Hall for publishing a sermon condemning the Whig government for its favouritism towards dissenters. Rioters demonstrated their sympathy for the doctor by sacking and burning six prominent dissenting chapels.
