About
In 1582, a total of 13 women were on trial accused of witchcraft. The ringleader was said to be Ursula Kemp from St. Osyth, Essex. Ursula and one other were hanged. In 1963 a skeleton was uncovered in a garden in St. Osyth and identified at the time as being that of Ursula. John Worland takes us through the original history and the subsequent travels of the skeleton, together with his 4 year fight to get the remains reburied back in St. Osyth.
