Tercet 8, Lancashire Witches Walk

Tercet 8, The Lancashire Witches Walk, Crook O'Lune, Halton, Lancashire.
The 51 mile walk, created to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Lancashire Witches trial and hangings in 1612, runs between Barrowford and Lancaster Castle. Ten cast iron waymarkers created by Stephen Raw have been positioned along the route with each waymarker commemorating one of the 'witches'.
This waymark at the Crook O'Lune is dedicated to Jane Bulcock. Each waymark is inscribed with one tercet of 'The Lancashire Witches' poem by Poet Laureate, Carol Ann Duffy.
TERCET 8:
"But that was then- when difference
made ghouls of neighbours; child beggars,
feral, filthy, threatened in their cowls."
