Join local author and historian Tracey Norman as she explores some fascinating 17th century remedies. Discover how our ancestors managed a range of ailments, from bruises to toothache. What did snails and earthworms have to do with medicine? What did they use calves' feet for? And what prompted accusations of witchcraft against some people, yet not others? Tracey Norman is an author and historian. She writes non-fiction, and fiction in several genres. Her book 'Dark Folklore' (written with her husband Mark) was published in 2021 by The History Press and her first full-length novel, the supernatural gothic adventure 'Who Is Anna Stenberg?' was published in October 2023 by American publisher Liminal Books. Her play 'WITCH', available as a full-cast audio production, was based on the events in a real witchcraft trial from 1687, and has been used by schools and universities as Theatre in Education.
The Shilstone Café will be open between 6pm and 7pm for drinks and cake.
