I love reading/watching stuff about the Pendle Witches!! It's ABSOLUTELY FASCINATING!! This video was an ABSOLUTE treat for me!! Thanks so much for uploading this, Dan!! XXXX 💚👍🧙♀️
I am an American who has been doing family research and I am a descendent of the Nutters, I am not 100% sure exactly but looking at the information I have I think that her husband Richard was my many-times great-uncle, meaning poor Alice was my many-times great-aunt. It is sad what happened to her and all the others. I hope to visit someday and leave some flowers for her Thank you so much for making this video; I love the United Kingdom and my cousins across the pond!
I wonder what kind of life the 9-yr-old had? Imagine growing up and gaining an adult awareness of the part she played in a woman’s death. I am surprised the “witch” was buried on hallowed ground. This was a lovely tour. Thank you.
The child grew up to have the same fate… was it karma? The grave was bigger and very close to the church. I was expecting just a small headstone on the very edge of the church yard.
Lovely old cemetery. My heart goes out to all the innocent woman falsely accused and killed for being a witch. Thankfully, religion does not run our governments anymore.
I was surprised the “witch” grave was that close to the church. She must had been wealthy and active in the community to be buried so close to the church. The school kids were funny 😄. 🇺🇸
@@absonus John and Robert Nutter were Catholic martyrs but they certainly weren't the brothers of Alice who was the daughter of Giles Whitaker of Huncoat. Alice was the widow of a yeoman farmer and it would be wrong to describe her as a 'gentlewoman' as this implies she was of gentry status (she wasn't). The Nutter estate at Crowtrees consisted of a single farmstead under the stewardship of Alice's son Miles and her personal wealth was intentionally exaggerated by the court clerk.
Another awesome video Dan. Just love all the graveyard, cemetarys that you go to. I would love to go to the UK and see them in person. Maybe one day. Until then I will see them through you. Love from Georgia USA
loved this walk through , what a beautiful cemetery loved the church bells and the old tombstones , wonder if that grave was the vaccuum guy , and loved that witches grave ❤ great job
I find the pendle witch trials fascinating and many years ago when I was in my teens I met a lady who was a nieghbour of my late Aunty who was a direct decendent of Alice Nutter and Gennet Devize who was the nine year old girl at the time also testified against her grandmother mother brother and sister 20 years later she was brought to trial accused of witchcraft herself
I know I'm late, but seeing as though you're interested in the subject: 1) 'Jennet Device' 2) Jennet was baptised in 1600 (parish records for the family were only discovered in 2006) so was either 11/12 years old during the trials. 3) Jennet was the illegitimate child of a man called Seller and has no known descendants. She died unmarried and childless in 1635 and was buried at St Mary's in Newchurch. The entry is under' Jenet Seller alias Devis sepult' on December 22nd. Someone who claims to be a lineal descendant of Jennet would have to prove descent from the children of Christopher Holgate, which for reasons I won't go into, isn't possible. 4) And lastly, Jennet wasn't on trial for witchcraft in 1634. The Jennet sent to trial is described as 'Jennet Device, Wm Device uxor' in the deposition of Edmund Robinson, i.e. the wife of William Device. She was still imprisoned in August 1636, 8 months after the Jennet from the earlier trials had died. You can see the gaol records in either the Farrington Papers (Chetham Society) or the Londesborough Manuscript. There are also references to the 1634 Jennet in a letter from George Long, JP of Middlesex. Those who claim direct descent from Alice Nutter are just as deluded as the direct Nutter line fizzled out with her son Miles in 1633.
I’m from the Pendle area and we were always told the grave was not that of “The” Alice Nutter as being convicted of Witchcraft she would not be buried on consecrated ground .
Poor Alice nutter and the other women she was hanged with . These ladies were often cited as witches for land , payback or because they would use herbs to heal people .
Because churches were built on pagan grounds, to stop pagans congregating upon that ground. Look into north dacing doors on churches. As most are east facing along with hebrewic and freemasonic belief systems.
Back off my holidays so catching up with your videos. Looking forwards to this one as it's only 30 mins away from me and we have visited the grave ourselves on many occasions 😁
@@deadgoodwalks If you plan on popping over to Blackburn Old Cemetery to cover any of the many interesting stories, if you want any company let me know 👍 We have a couple of videos to film ourselves over there in the next few weeks.
Thankyou so much. Great filming. Interesting & beautiful setting. I live on a texas ranch by myself. Was raining today,stumbled upon your video. I am subscribing.
Very interesting footage, love being able to see places that I may never get to see in person although I would love to visit Pendle one day. Not sure if you have been to Eyam the plague village might be worth a visit. Thank you, new subscriber
Loved that.. even someone from my home town of Dundee 🏴 I love cemeteries.. when I lived in Sydney Australia I loved walking through them and seeing the graves of ppl who had been sent to Oz aboard the first fleets.. many from Dundee and surrounding towns and villages.. even a grave of someone with the same name as my late dad.. was fascinating… thanks for sharing 🙏🏻
It's been interesting to see how the degree of erosion on the grave markers can vary depending upon the environmental conditions of a region. Or do you think it's more down to the types of stone available in those regions? Also, was it common to allow "alleged" witches to be buried in hallowed ground? Thanks for another great video!
It's usually the sandstone makers that don't fair well in the UK as its nearly always damp here and the stones very porous. I also would have thought they wouldn't allow her to be buried in a graveyard, the usual method would be to be thrown in a mass grave near where they were hanged.
I know at Brompton Cemetery, which isn't really that old compared to a lot of churchyards, a great number of stones are unreadable. The elements have worn the inscriptions completely off so the markers are smooth.
There is a tiny little old church called St Peters in the forest. It’s in upper Walthamstow, London. I used to go there as I lived opposite it. The gravestones there reflect how many children died in the 1800s. I’d have only been around 10 years old when I played in the Forest and visited the graves. I was never afraid.
I find it really sad hanging someone for simply just being different 😥may she and others like her who were hung rest in peace another lovely cemetery thank you 💜
This is amazing. The Nutter family members headstone shows Erim Nutter 1651, George Nutter 165?, (possibly 1651?), and Isabel and Margaret I couldn't see the date. That would make their headstone one of the earliest dated that you have seen. The tabletop slab that you visited after Alice looked like it said Henry Parker?, and it was dated 1691. We don't have headstones dating that far back in the US. Those are remarkable.
The Parker grave is one of two listed monuments at St Mary's and is much more interesting than the Nutter grave. They descended from the hereditary park keepers of the manor of Ightenhill (from which they take their name) and were a branch of the Parker family who built Extwistle Hall. Henry Parker (d.1691) was the son of Henry Parker Senior, a churchwarden at St Mary's in 1636 who was also mentioned in the Lancashire witch trials of 1634. His first wife was Mary Nutter, the aunt of Robert Nutter of Greenhead who was 'bewitched' by Anne Whittle from the first trials. The outlaw Butch Cassidy was also related to this family.
Remember me as you walk by, as you are now so once was I, as I am now, soon you will be, so prepare yourself to follow me. Saw this on a grave stone once. Rather fitting don’t you think 🤔
Love the history. Especially anything to do with witches and witch craft. Such a shame they were misunderstood. Let’s hope they are all resting in peace.
There is a documentary about the Pendle witches on UA-cam that mentions the girl testified against her own mother, brother, and sister (the Device family noted above). Supposedly 20 years later, there was a woman of the same name arrested for witch craft but it was later shown the boy made up the whole tale so luckily no one was hanged. However, people did die in prison while waiting for trials and its unknown if she was one of them as there is no record of her after this occurrence.
Lovely cemetery, beautiful setting so pieceful. Enjoy your vids. very much. So sorry for Alice Nutter that she had no way to save herself.. Hello from the USA TRENTON NJ
Great video 👍 did you see 'The Eye of God' half way up the church tower ? It is supposed to have been put there to ward off witches apparently, I missed it on my first visit to that place. Pause your video at 0.33 seconds and you can see it just under half way up 👍
Thanks mate, I did...but before I went I read it was just an old bell ringers window so didn't cover it. But now I'm thinking how many of these have I actually seen before....zero. So maybe it is true
It is NOT Alice Nutters grave ! As a condemned witch she would have been buried in an unmarked grave within Lancaster Castle. I lived in Newchurch in Pendle for several years and we always told everyone who visited the truth.
I can't complete with local knowledge, but I've read she came from a wealthy family, maybe her family paid to have her brought back to be buried on the family plot?
@@deadgoodwalks it wouldn't have been allowed, she wouldn't have been able to be buried on consecrated ground. However the grave in the churchyard is that of a relative, many Nutters still live in the area.
Would be awesome if you could teach the symbolism from the HeadStones and Markings, I do know the Yearns with the Capes, known as,"Full Life" when died half "Budded Rose" died young, and some others I do know, Thanks...
For a minute there, I thought those kids were going to have you arrested, and I was going to offer you bail to get you out of jail, assuming the British justice system works like ours in the U.S. 😂
I have a question! Why don't they take care of back graveyard?????? Immaculate front but horrible where you are. It seems like all the wives back the day were called Mary!!! Thank you for sharing.
There's a beautiful old graveyard at the end of the road I live in which I often walk around with my dog. Lots of very old graves and huge old trees and lots of wildlife. We saw a small deer in there a couple of times. Not sure there are any unfortunate souls accused of witchcraft buried there, but you never know. The church dates from the 11th century.
I was born and raised in and around Pendle in the 50/60s but only found out last year that Alice Nutter was my 11th Great Grandmother. As a result I was driven to learn more than I knew from the perspective of a child growing up in the area. I was determined to sort fact from fiction as much as I could from afar (I now live in Sydney, Australia) and next Tuesday 20th, to mark the 412th anniversary of the hangings I am performing in a play about these unfortunate souls who were wrongly and brutally hanged (men and women). But, with respect, I just wanted to correct this idea that Alice Nutter was buried in the church grounds at Newchurch. I visited there myself last year and feel stongly that other Nutters were buried there but not Alice - it was a common name round that time (still is) . She and the others hanged, would have most likely been tossed into unhallowed unmarked graves near to Gallows Hill, in Lancaster. I doubt even her family, who did not stand up for her in the trial, would have wanted to bring her body back to Roughlee/Newchurch (50 miles away) , nor would they have been alliowed to... importantly, being a staunch catholic (which in that period, was her undoing), I doubt Alice would have wanted to be buried in a Church of England graveyard, such as St. Annes. Wherever you are Grannie Nutter - RIP
@dawnhilton1513: People found guilty of witchcraft and executed could not be buried in "hallowed ground", they would have been buried close to the place of their execution. None of the graves at Newchurch are old enough to have any connection to the events of 1612.
What rude interruption?? Are you talking about the ringing of the bell? I think that was beautiful and something they're supposed to do and not stop for others.
i think the church bell was going off because it knew you were visiting so decided to welcome you know of 2 graveyards or so in leeds youd like eventhough you cant wander the south one sadly due to heavy disrepair
I am related to the William Stansworth and to Alice Nutter, the Pendle "Witch". I wish I could afford to visit their graves. I would love a pictures of their gravestones.
Nature Guy X46 that is so freakin cool i absolutely love wise shamanic wise women id love to have met tour ancestors they sound like amazing awesome people
If you've ever read or come across the book Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, the names of Agnes Nutter and her descendant Anathema Device were inspired by two of the victims of the 1612 Pendle witch trials, Alice Nutter and Elizabeth Device.
Ok I asked to see your legs on a previous video and so you did 🥰 how sweet & nice 😅 hahaha but there was no need to scare me with the sound of that opening door I was already sticked to you when I heard we would be visiting a witch today 😂 Thank you sexy voice as usual you re doing all that with such respect👍👏
Rest in eternal peace all those poor souls murdered and accused of witchcraft whether true or not no one had the right to take their lives ❤and anyone practicing witchcraft can do it openly as it is not a crime
There is a fascinating BBC documentary on the Pendle Witches by poet Simon Armitage, it's called "The Pendle Witch Child" its on UA-cam if you search with that title.
@@deadgoodwalks Is there anyone else who can explain this? Had it anything to do with having money? Or did they eventually have doubts about her being a witch? Because there are more "witches" buried at cemeteries.
That's the Nutter Family plot... but poor Alice wouldn't have been permitted burial there. Witches weren't buried on consecrated ground, not being in God's grace. Although there is a rumour that the family maybe smuggled her remains into the grave later.
Alice was executed city of lancaster 20th of August 1612,I could be wrong but i personally dont feel a convicted witch could be buried in consecrated ground ,However i was not around in 1612 .Excellent vidio
So sad that people back in the day could accuse a woman or man of witchcraft and especially in this case a 9 yo child and the masses took things in their hands and hung people. I think it is sad. I love your videos and you don’t get into things that controversial. ❤
What a beautiful cemetery/graveyard. Thank you, Dan ❤I felt sorry for the woman who was accused of being a witch.
It is a graveyard since it is attached to a Church.
@@lewisparker4488 I know

We don't actually know if she was buried in the family plot for this very reason
Alice Nutter was A Gentle woman who came froma wealthy home
she is related to me and my family and she was the last witch hung in britain
She came from a strong Catholic family. She had two brothers who were priests and who were executed.

I was determined to sort fact from fiction as much as I could from afar (I now live in Sydney, Australia) and next Tuesday 20th, to mark the 412th anniversary of the hangings I am performing in a play about these unfortunate souls who were wrongly and brutally hanged (men and women). But, with respect, I just wanted to correct this idea that Alice Nutter was buried in the church grounds at Newchurch. I visited there myself last year and feel stongly that other Nutters were buried there but not Alice - it was a common name round that time (still is) . She and the others hanged, would have most likely been tossed into unhallowed unmarked graves near to Gallows Hill, in Lancaster. I doubt even her family, who did not stand up for her in the trial, would have wanted to bring her body back to Roughlee/Newchurch (50 miles away) , nor would they have been alliowed to... importantly, being a staunch catholic (which in that period, was her undoing), I doubt Alice would have wanted to be buried in a Church of England graveyard, such as St. Annes. Wherever you are Grannie Nutter - RIP
@dawnhilton1513: People found guilty of witchcraft and executed could not be buried in "hallowed ground", they would have been buried close to the place of their execution. None of the graves at Newchurch are old enough to have any connection to the events of 1612.
'Ding dong the witch is dead.' hahaha perfect timing
Apparently I’m a descendant of this woman 👁️👄👁️
Poor Alice X and all of the little ones ,may they rest in peace
Hello Marie, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
What rude interruption?? Are you talking about the ringing of the bell? I think that was beautiful and something they're supposed to do and not stop for others.
Yeah, just a joke x
@@deadgoodwalks oh ok. I was going to say, or was it the comment you made about the witch.
@@RoMaMa923 Hello Pretty, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
i think the church bell was going off because it knew you were visiting so decided to welcome you know of 2 graveyards or so in leeds youd like eventhough you cant wander the south one sadly due to heavy disrepair
Very interesting video
I love old graveyards so peaceful
POV: trying not to feel awkward in front of 100 kids!! Respect! 😂

I remember reading about the pendle witches. Really interesting video
What a beautiful cemetery. And so well cared for.
The Dyson connection could be true. James Dyson was from North Norfolk
Hello Rosemarie, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
I am related to the William Stansworth and to Alice Nutter, the Pendle "Witch". I wish I could afford to visit their graves. I would love a pictures of their gravestones.
Nature Guy X46 that is so freakin cool i absolutely love wise shamanic wise women id love to have met tour ancestors they sound like amazing awesome people
@@tinkabell1400 Me too, tinkabell... see my post above.
If you've ever read or come across the book Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, the names of Agnes Nutter and her descendant Anathema Device were inspired by two of the victims of the 1612 Pendle witch trials, Alice Nutter and Elizabeth Device.

@@Trevorjennings679 natural immunity working fine. Thanks for asking.
Glad poor Alice is buried right next to the church. A bit of poetic justice for her, may she rest in peace.
What's crazy is a witch saved that town from an evil king and his army.
Hello Patricia, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
Rest in eternal peace all those poor souls murdered and accused of witchcraft whether true or not no one had the right to take their lives ❤and anyone practicing witchcraft can do it openly as it is not a crime
used to live not far in barrowford nr nelson didnt get a chance to pop up there shame
There is a fascinating BBC documentary on the Pendle Witches by poet Simon Armitage, it's called "The Pendle Witch Child" its on UA-cam if you search with that title.
Thanks, I'll have a look
You would think that "witches" were not allowed to be buried, next to a church! Does anyone know if there were rules for that?
You're right, they would normally be thrown in a pit near where they were executed, but there are exceptions that I can't explain
@@deadgoodwalks Is there anyone else who can explain this? Had it anything to do with having money? Or did they eventually have doubts about her being a witch? Because there are more "witches" buried at cemeteries.
@@marilynvanaalst232 Hello Marilyn, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
@@Trevorjennings679 Not affected by that virus in any way. Maybe I'm a Witch too?
The Pendle Witches didn’t get hanged at Lancaster castle but at Gallows Hill on the outskirts of Lancaster.
That's the Nutter Family plot... but poor Alice wouldn't have been permitted burial there. Witches weren't buried on consecrated ground, not being in God's grace.
Although there is a rumour that the family maybe smuggled her remains into the grave later.
Yeah, they were pretty wealthy
Hello Pretty, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
Beautiful but sombre, as with many graveyards.
Wigglesvurt sounds like something in Harry Potter 🥰
Love it
Where is this please
@mrbsbuildings2828: Newchurch in Pendle district, about 25 miles North of Manchester.
My three times great grandad is buried in the cemetery in Colne.
Colne video coming soon
She was innocent! 🙏
Hello Ilene, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
Alice was executed city of lancaster 20th of August 1612,I could be wrong but i personally dont feel a convicted witch could be buried in consecrated ground ,However i was not around in 1612 .Excellent vidio
Cheers Simon. I think she's there because her family had a bob or two
I was also very surprised that she was buried in a churchyard.
I hear a lot of brits say when referring to a crazy or a goofy person as a "Nutter" Is that where it came from? The name of the witch?
Yeah probably
thank you👍
No problem 👍
So sad that people back in the day could accuse a woman or man of witchcraft and especially in this case a 9 yo child and the masses took things in their hands and hung people. I think it is sad.
I love your videos and you don’t get into things that controversial. ❤
Scary times to live in indeed
I thought you added some obligatory sound effects at start!!!
hahaha. Everything's genuine on this channel. No gimmicks or drama
Why would a witch be burried on hallowed ground
