Just an aside: I am re-reading Ainsworth's "Lancashire Witches" ... it's free ... Project Gutenberg ... I know it's dated; but it is still in print, the only one of his works that has been continuously in print since its first publication. One thing that really stands out are the referrences to local wildlife, esp. its abundance. Having experienced only post-industrial Lancashire, it's hard to imagine the natural beauty and the wild life of former times.
