Barley, The Village And Pendle Hill c.1960

More about this scene
The ancient name for the village is Barelegh (meaning 'wasteland'), but lush meadows now support flocks of sheep. George Fox's vision on Pendle Hill in 1640 led to the founding of the Society of Friends. Two feuding families, the women ringleaders known as Chattox and Demdike, lived on the slopes of Pendle and became notorious for holding witches' covens. They were tried, with others, at Lancaster Castle. Ten people were hanged in August 1612. Demdike died in prison.
