There is little currently known about this association. The article in the Northern Star mentions that there were  three Chartist churches in Glasgow at the time (‘Chartist Intelligence. Glasgow’, Northern Star and Leeds General Advertiser, 31 July 1841, p. 2). To date, it is unknown which church the group was associated with. (For a brief summary of the Chartist movement, see Glenn Everett’s article, ‘Chartism or The Chartist Movement‘ on The Victorian Web.)
