SUMMARY:History Portal Club: Women on the Edge
DESCRIPTION:Together\, we’ll explore the town’s women who weren’t exactly respectable in the eyes of society – witches\, criminals\, herbalists\, prostitutes\, and those who didn’t conform to what a well-behaved person should have done. \nWho were some of Chippenham’s disreputable characters?\nWhere was the first executed witch in England based?\nWhat did the herbalist do to kill her patient? \nThis friendly and interactive club session will explore the history of the town’s women through the stories of those who didn’t conform\, or were caught up in events beyond their control to be branded “bad” by society at large\, and how they fit into a larger national picture.

SUMMARY:Louise Ryland-Epton talk: Agnes Mylles and the murder by witchcraft of William Bayntun
DESCRIPTION:In 1563 a witchcraft act was passed by the English parliament. It formed the legal basis for all English witchcraft trials. In early 1564\, a baby\, William Bayntun died in north Wiltshire\, allegedly murdered by witchcraft. Three legal cases followed\, and three women were implicated in the murder plot — a local widow\, Agnes Mylles from Stanley near Chippenham\, the child’s aunt\, Dorothy Bayntun\, and his mother\, Agnes Bayntun\, a cousin to Queen Elizabeth I. The three were accused by a fourth woman\, a witchfinder. The cases had dreadful consequences for almost all the protagonists\, leading to imprisonment\, torture\, and ultimately the execution of Agnes Mylles\, the first recorded person to be executed in England for the crime of witchcraft. This is a tragic tale of toxic family relationships played out in the Chippenham area against the backdrop of the Tudor Reformation. \nThe event is FREE but please register at Chippenham Library\, or call the library on 01249 6750536. \n \nFind out more about the Chippenham – Our History project on this website here.
