Mist over Pendle

Day trip spent around Lancashire's atmospheric Pendle Hill (557 metres) which dominates the landscape and is famous as 'Witch Country'.  In 1612 ten out of eleven were found guilty and hung.  
Alice Nutter of Roughlee (see statue) was one who was hung.  Nearby Read Hall (bottom left) was the home of Justice Roger Nowell who committed them to trial at Lancaster and York.  For more info read Robert Neill's novel 'Mist over Pendle'.
