I have written a number of books (including a novel)covering aspects of the history of my district - namely the East Lancashire Forest of Pendle.
I am a leading authority on the subject of the Lancashire Witches of 1612 and 1634 and have puplished three books relating to these nfamous witch trials.
In 2011 I acted as historical advisor to Wingspan Productions on their 2011 BBC4 film The Pendle Witch Child. I have also helped on other BBC television productions and have broadcast on BBC radio.view less
