Last night our Director, Emma, had the pleasure of seeing Syd Moore interview Professor Marion Gibson about her book "Witchcraft: a History in 13 Trials" - thank you to Essex Book Festival and Essex Record Office for organising. Emma had some brilliant conversations about our work (thank you, Syd for getting her to stand up!) and was proud to announce the launch of our website and merchandise. The t-shirt design that Emma wore is available to buy, and the design is now also available on a tote bag.

A number of people have asked where the museum will be located. At this time, we do not have a venue for the museum confirmed. We are currently fundraising for a venue and will soon be launching our website with a range of merchandise available to buy. In the meantime, please follow us for updates, and share our posts to anyone you think would be interested in the museum.

Did you know that Essex was one of the most prevalent locations in the world for trials of witchcraft? Our aim is to preserve the history of those accused and executed for the crime of witchcraft. We plan to open an in-person museum, sharing stories of those accused, and explaining why this bloody part of our history took place. In order to do this, we need your help - we'll be launching a line of merchandise and a Crowdfunding campaign, and ask that you support us where possible. #WitchyWednesday #EssexWitchTrials #EssexWitchMuseum #EssexWitches?
