![]() The others accused were Jane Bulcock and her son John Bulcock, Alice Nutter, Katherine Hewitt, Alice Gray, and Jennet Preston. Six of the Pendle witches came from one of two families, each headed by a female in her eighties at the time of the trials: Elizabeth Southerns, her daughter Elizabeth Device, and her grandchildren James and Alizon Device Anne Whittle, and her daughter Anne Redferne. Of the eleven individuals who went to trial, nine women and two men, ten were found guilty and executed by hanging and one was found not guilty. One was tried at York Assizes during July 1612, and another died in prison. All but two were tried at Lancaster Assizes in August 1612, along with the Samlesbury witches and others, in a series of trials that have become known as the Lancashire witch trials. The twelve accused lived in the area around Pendle Hill in Lancashire, and were charged with the murders of ten people by the use of witchcraft. The trials of the Pendle witches in 1612 are among the most famous witch trials in English history, and some of the best recorded of the 17th century. ![]() We have thousands of titles available, and we invite you to search for us by name, contact us via our website, or download our most recent catalogues.
