Description
Between 1560 and 1680, Essex was gripped by witch fever, resulting in nearly 340 people being tried for witchcraft. This period saw some of the most severe punishments in English history, with over 100 people hanged for their alleged sorcery.
This book tells the story of many of the local common folk who were accused of witchcraft and tried in court. It includes biographies of those who suffered the harsh penalties for their beliefs and practice in herbal remedies and potions, as well as their alleged involvement in causing the deaths of neighbours and family members.
