Join host, Alice Loxton, as she delves deep into the mysterious and haunting story of the Pendle Witch Trials that took place in 17th-century England. Alice speaks to local historian Simon Entwistle and Lancaster Castle's Museum Manager, Dr. Colin Penny to shed light on the secrets and significance of this chilling trial.
Alice steps back in time to explore the landscapes of Pendle Hill, the ordinary town which became the heart of witchcraft allegations in Lancashire. She finds out how fear, superstition, and religious tensions conspired to ignite one of the most infamous witch trials in English history.
She spends time learning the real stories of Alice Nutter, Elizabeth Device, and other women who were entangled in the web of accusations and examines the evidence against the accused, exploring potential motivations behind their persecution.
Film directed by Mark Bowsher.
