Historical research shows that Exeter pursued people accused of witchcraft even as much of England relaxed its approach, including local people who used magic to investigate minor crimes.
New historical research shows how Exeter differed from much of England in its treatment of witchcraft. While attitudes elsewhere became less strict, the city continued to pursue people accused of being witches.
