TV presenter Rylan teams up with anthropologist Professor Alice Roberts to investigate the harrowing witch trials of Essex. They start in 1566 with accusations levelled at a poor family of women from Hatfield Peveril, who are tried before Queen Elizabeth’s own attorney. It’s a test trial of a newly passed Act of Parliament, making witchcraft a felony, punishable by death.
