A guide to Britain's dark history A haunting annotated map of witch trial sites across Britain – from the windswept hills of Scotland to the streets of London and the beaches of No rthern Ireland. Between the 16th and 18th centuries, thousands of people – mostly women – were executed for witchcraft across what is now the United Kingdom. This beautifully designed guide leads you through stones, plaques and memorials that remember the accused. Alongside each entry you’ll find historical background, folklore, local legend and details of contemporary commemoration. Janet Horne in the Highlands, Ursula Kemp in Essex, the Pendle witches, and the last trial in Ireland are among those featured, their voices once silenced by fear and injustice. Each package also includes a card outlining a simple ritual for honouring those who were executed and for helping to heal the “witch wound”. Perfect for history lovers, travellers and readers of folklore, Accused offers a vivid and moving journey into Britain’s dark past.
