Interesting.

Although the stupid cartoons of people got on my nerves.

Never knew that Jennet Devis was the grandaughter of Old Mother Demdike.

Had family living around Pendle then, some shamefully in what was then Yorkshire. We even have a Jennet, but she was a Horner/Cottam.

Also interesting to learn that Malkin Towers wasn't as grand as it sounded.

In fact it was a poor midden of a smallholding, and the name translates as 'sh-it heap'.

Was also interesting to learn that Jennet's testimony at the subsequent trial at Lancaster Castle entered the law books, about child witnesses at trials, and was used as a precedent at the Salem witch trials, because at that time America was still ruled by Britain.

When we were children one of our most favourite walks was when Dad took us to see what are supposedly witches graves at St. Mary's Church, at Newchurch in Pendle.

Enjoyable programme.
