[74] Court records show that Lancashire was unusual in the north of England for the frequency of its witch trials. Neighbouring Cheshire, for instance, also suffered from economic problems and religious activists, but there only 47 people were indicted for causing harm by witchcraft between 1589 and 1675, of whom 11 were found guilty.

Born as I was under the shadow of Pendle Hill, landscape has always 'loomed large' in my imagination and spoken to my soul. Inspired by landscape or memories of landscape, my paintings are at the same time 'innerscapes'. The artist in me seeks out connections between the changing moods of the outer world and my inner stirrings of emotion and spirit. Hasted, Rachel A. C.

Still quite spooky even if you discount Derek Akora The appellation "Demdike" derives from "demon woman", suggesting that she was "feared and loathed within the community". [1] Really enjoyed this book. It’s based on fact, and some of the characters are real. The only thing I struggled with was some of the writing and words i’ve never heard before. Also the chapters where quite long which i’m not a fan of.

Unburied Bane inspired by the short story of the same name by N. Dennett, originally published 1933. The Lancashire Witch trials of 1612 were the basis for this story. We have a young puritan girl, Margery, sent to her cousin Roger Nowell because her family doesn’t know what to do with her (she is distinctly un-puritan) and nobody can provide her with a dowry to marry her off. Roger’s way of life is more to Margery’s taste and, freed of the restrictions her upbringing had imposed on her, we see her blossom into an intelligent young woman. She accompanies her cousin, a Justice of the Peace, on his investigations into increasingly frequent accusations of witchcraft, soon becoming an integral part of the inquiries, her actions leading to at least one incidence of romance and several incidences of execution. For some reason, it's just never interested me......sooooooo tell me why you enjoyed the book 'Mist Over Pendle' so much? What's the fascination? Many of the allegations made in the Pendle witch trials resulted from members of the Demdike and Chattox families making accusations against each other. Historian John Swain has said that the outbreaks of witchcraft in and around Pendle demonstrate the extent to which people could make a living either by posing as a witch, or by accusing or threatening to accuse others of being a witch. [18] Although it is implicit in much of the literature on witchcraft that the accused were victims, often mentally or physically abnormal, for some at least, it may have been a trade like any other, albeit one with significant risks. [77] There may have been bad blood between the Demdike and Chattox families because they were in competition with each other, trying to make a living from healing, begging, and extortion. [24] The Demdikes are believed to have lived close to Newchurch in Pendle, and the Chattox family about 2 miles (3.2km) away, near the village of Fence.
