Great Yarmouth Witchcraft Tour by Great Yarmouth Heritage Guides

Great Yarmouth’s invitation to Matthew Hopkins, the self-styled Witchfinder General in 1645 led to the deaths of five towns-people who were accused to be witches.
But did you know that two members of those found guilty at the infamous Salem trial in Massachusetts were born in Great Yarmouth? This tour explores the history of these events.
Don't miss the Guided Heritage Walks in person when they return in 2021.

I was in Great Yarmouth this summer and walked the trail of Elizabeth Bradwell, as I have embroidered a panel in remembrance of her as part of the Medicine Spoon Memorial project for women killed as witches in the various hunts across England and Scotland. In the video your refer to the execution taking place in December, which I have seen in some accounts. However the burial records now show that the women were buried on 27th September, which I assume was also the date that they were executed or at least in the days preceding. I would have thought that the burial would have been the same.day of swiftly afterwards given they were seen as witches and people would not want them hanging on the gibbet for long.
