Pendle Witches
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. The twelve accused lived in the area surrounding Pendle Hill in Lancashire, and were charged with the murders of ten people by the use of witchcraft. All but two were tried at Lancaster Assizes on 18–19 August 1612, along with the Samlesbury witches and others, in a series of trials that have become known as the Lancashire witch trials. One was tried at York Assizes on 27 July 1612, and another died in prison. Of the eleven who went to trial – nine women and two men – ten were found guilty and executed by hanging; one was found not guilty. The official publication of the proceedings by the clerk to the court, Thomas Potts, in his '' The Wonderfull Discoverie of Witches in the Countie of Lancaster'', and the number of witches hanged together – nine at Lancaster and one at York – make the trials unusual for England at ...

Pendle Hill
Pendle Hill is in the east of Lancashire, England, near the towns of Burnley, Nelson, Colne, Brierfield, Clitheroe and Padiham. Its summit is above mean sea level. It gives its name to the Borough of Pendle. It is an isolated hill in the Pennines, separated from the South Pennines to the east, the Bowland Fells to the northwest, and the West Pennine Moors to the south. It is included in a detached part of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. History The name "Pendle Hill" combines the words for hill from three different languages (as does Bredon Hill in Worcestershire). In the 13th century it was called ''Pennul'' or ''Penhul'', apparently from the Cumbric ''pen'' and Old English ''hyll'', both meaning "hill". The modern English "hill" was appended later, after the original meaning of Pendle had become opaque. Neolithic and Bronze Age burial sites have been discovered at and around the summit of the hill. There is an ancient local legend that the Dev ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Forest Of Pendle
The Forest of Pendle is a hilly area to the east of Pendle Hill in eastern Lancashire, roughly defining the watershed between the River Ribble and its tributary the River Calder. The area is not a forest in the modern sense of being heavily wooded, and has not been so for many centuries. Historically a somewhat larger area than the modern forest was one of the several royal forests of the area, under the control of Clitheroe Castle, or Honour of Clitheroe. Over its history, the forest has gone from being protected and regulated as a medieval royal forest, to being labelled as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The forest is not coterminous to the modern local government district of Pendle, which is larger, and the modern version of the forest has come to contain areas to the north and east of Pendle Hill which are partly in the district of Ribble Valley. Medieval history In 1086, at the time of the Domesday Book, Pendle forest was part of the extensive forests in Blac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
