Accused of Witchcraft: Remembering Maidstone’s Forgotten Victims
Advertisement
What happened when accusations of witchcraft turned neighbour against neighbour?
As part of Maidstone Museums' Local Heritage Week, join Cllr Claire Kehily for a thought-provoking talk exploring one of the darkest chapters in Maidstone's history.
Discover the stories of the men and women accused of witchcraft, the fears and beliefs that fuelled suspicion, and the social pressures that allowed accusations to take hold.
Through the experiences of ordinary people caught up in extraordinary circumstances, this fascinating talk examines the human cost of the witch trials and what these events can still teach us today.
Exploring themes of justice, prejudice and community, the evening offers a chance to reflect on a remarkable and often unsettling part of our local heritage.
