In this episode of my Tudor True Crime series, I uncover the dark world behind the St Osyth witch trials, a story of neighbourly grudges, grief, superstition, and a magistrate hungry for fame.
You’ll discover:

- Why Ursula Kemp was both a healer… and feared

- Why two women ended up at the gallows
- And whether the skeletons found in 1921 really belonged to them…
