Puritan's witch trial notebook from Tatton Park online: "A 17th Century notebook describing how women were tried, tortured, convicted and hanged for witchcraft
has been published online.
Puritan writer Nehemiah Wallington describes how Witchfinder General Matthew Hopkins found 'a coven of witches' and 19 women were hanged.
Every page of the book, kept at Tatton Park, Cheshire, was photographed by experts from University of Manchester.
The team said they were 'delighted' at being able to preserve the document."
