Frightened by its appearance, his servants and members of his family had, within a matter of hours, convinced themselves that the bird was an emissary of the devil sent by witches to destroy the fabric of their lives. As the result of these allegations, three women of Bideford came to be forever defined as witches. A Secretary of State brushed aside their case and condemned them to the gallows; to hang as the last group of women to be executed in England for the crime. Yet, the hatred of their neighbours endured. For Bideford, it was said, was a place of witches. In this book, John Callow explores the remarkable tale of the Bideford Witches.<\/p>\n<p>Author John Callow Published by Bloomsbury Academic ISBN 9781788314398 EAN 9781788314398 Bic Code  Cover Hardback<\/p>\n<!-- Jellybooks Discovery Plugin: Not on a regular page -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Callow<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":29407,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[6231],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-29406","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-history","8":"first","9":"outofstock","10":"sold-individually","11":"taxable","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
