Description

The Pendle Witch Trials of 1612 This book provides a chronological account of the famous trials at Lancaster Castle in 1612, which ultimately led to the execution of women accused of practising witchcraft in Lancashire. The author draws on evidence and interview transcripts to present a balanced view of the events, shedding light on the lives of ordinary villagers living in remote areas of Lancashire. The book explores the depth of belief in witchcraft among the local population, set against the backdrop of the seventeenth century legal system. David Holding's extensive research into local history and his fair and balanced approach make this account appealing to both the general reader and local historians alike. Written by a historian with a deep understanding of the period, this book offers a compelling and informative look at a pivotal moment in English history.
