The Northamptonshire witch trials took place in 1612, and five people were executed for witchcraft on July 22 of that year: Helen Jenkinson: Accused of bewitching cattle, Jenkinson was pricked and found to have the "Devil's Mark" on her body. Mary Barber of Stanwick: Accused of bewitching cattle and a man to death, Barber was described as having "mean parents" and being "monstrous and hideous both in her life and actions".
