About us
This was a website created about Molly Leigh and witchcraft as we were studying it in school. Her story about her independence and a will to be free of social norm is an inspiration to all. She was most definitely a special woman, whether or whether not she was a witch and her story is echoed through the heart of Stoke till this day.
She may have seemed the ordinary citizen, but the subtle differences of her being an independent, rich woman probably set her apart from the average person. These are most likely to be the reasons she was labelled a witch. These are also the reasons that she is remembered today.
Molly Leigh is just one example among many cases like her, a chapter of the wider story, but her story is so remarkable, that it is resonant to the time of history. By remembering her story and the story of many others, we are paying respect to the many lives lost in vain in the witch pandemonium of the 16th and 17th century. Please do enjoy reading this website and I hope it is helpful and informative.
