24CM SAGE GREEN ANNE REDFEARN - THE WITCHES OF PENDLE

THE WITCHES OF PENDLE
24CM ANNE REDFEARN WITCH FLYING
SAGE GREEN
In 1612, 19 woman and men from the villages around Pendle Hill, were accused of Witchcraft and taken before " the powers" - the local magistrate. Roger Nowell, off Read Hall.
After his examination he sent them to Lancaster a journey of over 30 miles.They were held in Lacaster castle, in dreadful conditions, from April to August 17th, when they were put on trial, found guilty and hanged.
With the exception of Alice Nutter, who was a gentlwoman from a wealthy family, the of the accused were very poor peasants, who lived in howls on the land of various local farmers and gentry. They knew the ways of the countryside, and probably made a penny or two by providing herb potions and medicine's which meant that they were reguarded with great superstition by the local people.
