British history | She begged for turnips. They called it witchcraft.

Walkern, 1712. Jane Wenham — poor, old, alone. A farmer’s sheep died and the village blamed her. 16 witnesses. A girl said Jane made her fly. The judge said there was no law against flying — the jury convicted her anyway. He couldn’t stop the verdict, only the rope.

The last woman in England condemned as a witch.

Mercy, justice, or a village that needed someone to blame?
