Overview

Henry VIII's law against witches in 1542 led to thousands of women being persecuted and many burned at the stake. New investigative techniques and historical records are to re-examine the fates of women accused of witchcraft during 16th and 17th-century witch trials in Essex. Rylan and Alice Roberts explores the events, lives, and alleged crimes of those accused, often bringing the stories to life through scripted drama and featuring expert testimony from historians and psychologists.
