Lancashire Witches Trail
The Pendle or Lancashire Witches were some of the most famous witches in English legal history. Their trial was held at Lancaster, where 10 men and women were hung for witchcraft, and one died while awaiting trial. The Pendle witches trials were unusual for two reasons, the official publication of the proceedings and because of the number of witches hanged.
