In 1712, seventy-year-old Jane Wenham stood trial in Hertfordshire for witchcraft. Convicted and sentenced to hang, she was unexpectedly pardoned by Queen Anne — but driven from the village she called home. Her story would become a national sensation, and she would go down in history as the last woman in England to be condemned for witchcraft by a court of law.

This Hallowed season, we return to Walkern to uncover the story of the woman at the heart of England's last witch trial.

Oh, and that rude interruption at the end! ;) I'll be reading from The Tales of the Weird in a collection of recordings and live sessions on Patreon for the spooky season! >> Link.
