On Wednesday 16th October, at 5pm, I shall be launching my new book Witches and Witchcraft in Ely: A History at Oliver Cromwell’s House, which is a museum and also the Tourist Information Centre in Ely. My presentation on Ely’s connection with witchcraft will be preceded by a ghost walk, an annual event at Oliver Cromwell’s House, which claims to be a haunted building. Much to my horror, I am billed on the poster advertising the event next to a picture of the Lord Protector’s face – a genocidal tyrant much more terrifying than any Hallowe’en spook…
