17th Century Witches in the Lancashire Hills
The book provides readers with a sequential overview of the famous chain of events that ultimately led to the execution of women accused of practising witchcraft in the county of Lancashire. It is presented as a chronological account of the famous trials at Lancaster Castle in 1612. This book introduces the evidence and interview transcripts that formed the major plank of the prosecution case and will appeal to both the general reader and local historian.
“In David Holding’s ‘The Pendle Witch Trials of 1612‘ the writer has delivered a compelling account of the lives of two Pendle families, the ‘Pendle Witches’. Living in the isolated villages of the Pendle area, they were the central personalities in W. H, Ainsworth’s The Lancashire Witches. Holding’s account of the Pendle Witches shows the depth of belief in the power of witchcraft over the lives of ordinary villagers living in the remote areas of Lancashire. This is set in a definitive account of the seventeenth century legal system. It is this system which tried and ultimately judged the Pendle Witches. David Holding’s extensive research into local history combined with a fair and balanced account of the beliefs and superstitions present in seventeenth century Lancashire will appeal both to the general reader and to those with to local historians alike.” – John F Henry
