Another book on English witchcraft you say? For 50p you say? Oh go on then! ;)
Our latest book bargain is 'England's Witch Trials' by Willow Winsham! Published by Pen and Sword Books in 2018, Willow focuses on five case studies, including The Pendle Witches, to explore a century of superstition & persecution in England. A nice addition to the collection! π
Our next Witchcraft - 1612 public guided walk of Lancaster takes place on 20th June, but private group tours can be arranged. Tickets for all our public events can be found over on our Trybooking.com/UK page. π
Incidentally, today marks the anniversary of the trial of Bridget Bishop in 1692. Bridget was the first person to be tried & executed in the famous Salem Witch Trials in Massachusetts. The unfortunate fate of those accused in Salem relied heavily on decisions made eighty years previously at Lancaster Castle. π§ββοΈ
