July and August have several significant dates relating to the English witch trial of the 1600s and we are taking you on ghost adventures to the epicentre of these infamous witch trials and where many poor souls lost their lives for being a ‘Witch’
In The Summer of 1645 on the 29th July the accused witches from the sleepy villages of Manningtree and Mistley were publicly hanged for being a ‘Witch’ these executions became known as The Chelmsford Witch Trials
On this Summer Of Witches Special Anniversary Ghost Hunt our base for the night is the inn where Matthew Hopkins took his first witch from an inn which he resided in the adjoining property.
On confession Elizabeth Clarke named 5 other witches from Manningtree and Mistley and so began the infamous Chelmsford With Trials
