THE
HORNINGHOLD
WITCH TRIALS
A story of superstition, popular justice & entertainment in early eighteenth century Leicestershire
The Horninghold witch trials took place in June 1709 in Leicestershire, during the Whitsun festivities—a period of local celebration and entertainment.
The trials were not formal court proceedings but rather a series of public swimming tests reflecting popular justice and superstition of the time.
The main source for these events is the diary of Reverend Humphrey Michel, Rector of Blaston and Horninghold.
