About
Join renowned author Syd Moore, famed for her Essex Witch Museum Mysteries, as she discusses some of the lesser-known women accused of witchcraft in our county: Sarah Moore, the alleged sea witch and Joan Rowle, both from Leigh-on-Sea, the ‘witches’ of Basildon, Anne Hewghes and Avice Cuny – all of whom have featured in her books. Syd will end the evening with a reading from her chilling collection of short stories, The Twelve Strange Days of Christmas.
