The Pendle Witch Trials (1612) - It All Began With .. Alizon Device
The Pendle Witch trials of 1612 is perhaps the most well known of all witch trials throughout the world, and it all began because of a chance encounter one day back on the 18th March 1612, when a young girl by the name of Alizon (Alison) Device was making her way to the Forest of Trawden.
Meeting a man by the name of John Law, what transpired that day would forever echo in the shadows that lie directly underneath the imposing Pendle Hill. Unwittingly, Alizon would set in motion a chain of events that would ultimately not only cost her own life, but that of many more people.
This is the story of how the Pendle Witch trials of 1612 began.

18th August 1612: The Pendle Witch trials of nine Lancashire women and two men
The trials of the Pendle Witches are not only some of the most famous but also some of the best recorded witch trials in British history. This is due to a published account called The Wonderfull Discoverie of Witches in the Countie of Lancaster by Thomas Potts, the clerk to the Lancaster Assizes where all but one of the trials took place.
One interesting aspect of the trials is that the majority of the defendants self-identified as witches, or at least as village healers who practised what they referred to as ‘magic’ in return for payment. A number of the accused even admitted to Roger Nowell, the justice of the peace for Pendle and chief prosecutor at the trials, that witchcraft had been practised by a number of people in the area around Pendle Hill for many years.
Accused of the murder...

The trials of the Pendle Witches are not only some of the most famous but also some of the best recorded witch trials in British history. This is due to a published account called The Wonderfull Discoverie of Witches in the Countie of Lancaster by Thomas Potts, the clerk to the Lancaster Assizes where all but one of the trials took place.
One interesting aspect of the trials is that the majority of the defendants self-identified as witches, or at least as village healers who practised what they referred to as ‘magic’ in return for payment. A number of the accused even admitted to Roger Nowell, the justice of the peace for Pendle and chief prosecutor at the trials, that witchcraft had been practised by a number of people in the area around Pendle Hill for many years.
Accused of the murders of various people in and around the area, twelve people were charged. One of there was found not guilty and another died in prison before going to trial. The other ten were found guilty and executed by hanging.
In historical terms, the Pendle Witch trials were significant for their scale. Despite a popular belief that witch trials were a common occurrence in the early modern period, only around five hundred people were executed for witchcraft throughout the 300 year period when they were carried out.
Statistically, this means that the ten found guilty in Pendle represented two per cent of all British witches to face trial over three centuries.
