Medieval folk had long suspected that the Devil was carrying out
his work on earth with the help of his minions. In 1484, Pope
Innocent VIII declared this to be true, which resulted in
witch-hunts across Europe that lasted for nearly 200 years. In
1645, England – and Essex in particular – was in the grip of
witch fever. Between 1560 and 1680, 317 women and 23 men were tried
for witchcraft in Essex alone, and over 100 were hanged. Essex
Witches includes biographies of many of the local common folk who
were tried in the courts for their beliefs and practice in herbal
remedies and potions, and for causing the deaths of neighbours and
even family members. These unfortunate citizens suffered the
harshest penalties for their alleged sorcery and demonic ways, and
those punishments are recorded here.
