More about this scene
Here we see Warboys church, with the 17th-century Dutch-influenced manor house next door. The village is renowned as the scene of a notorious Elizabethan witch hunt, when 80 year old Alice Samuel called on a neighbour whose child was ill. The child accused her of witchcraft, a charge repeated by four sisters, and ultimately by Lady Cromwell, who died. Alice Samuel, with her husband and daughter, were arrested and tried in Huntingdon. They were found guilty of witchcraft and hanged in 1593.
