  • E2 The Witches of Belvoir Castle
    Nov 4 2022

    We're back for round two. This week Aimee tells the tale of the Flower family of Bottesford, also known as the Witches of Belvoir Castle. The tragic story of three women who were accused of witchcraft in 1618. Were they truly guilty or was it all a complete stitch-up? We also discuss what we would both be like as monarchs, and talk about delicious, delicious doughnuts.
