The Sheffield Political Union (SPU) was an organisation established to campaign for Parliamentary Reform in Sheffield, England. It attracted 12,000 members in 1832.[1] The SPU was founded by "Eleven Poor Men of Hallamshire" as celebrated in a hymn of this name by Ebenezer Elliott. In May 1833 the SPU originally proposed submitting a "humble prayer" to King William IV to dismiss his ministers and call a new election. However when the wording was made somewhat stronger by turning this into a demand, the committee including Elliott, resigned and the union was wound up.[2] Notable people associated with the Sheffield Political Union
