English Witch Trials



This section of the website provides a list of over 500 witchtrials held in England but is just a fraction of the total. Sadly, many records have been lost or destroyed over the years, so we will never know the true extent of this madness.
Details are from 'History of Witchcraft in England From 1558 to 1718' by Wallace Notestein and 'The Witch Cult in Western Europe' by Margaret Murray.

Let them not be forgotten, nor the pain they went through.

Victims of our local witch trials in Essex are shown seperately.
