Malkin Tower (or the Malking Tower or Mocking Tower) was the home of Elizabeth Southerns, also known as Demdike, and her granddaughter Alizon Device, two of the chief protagonists in the Lancashire witch trials of 1612. Several explanations have been suggested for the origins of the word Malkin. Despite its name, Malkin Tower is likely to have been a simple cottage.

  • La Torre Malkin (en inglés: Malkin Tower) fue la casa de Elizabeth Southerns, también conocida como Demdike, y su nieta Alizon Device, dos de las principales protagonistas en los juicios de brujas de Lancashire de 1612. Quizás aquelarre las más conocidas supuestas brujas en la historia legal Inglés tuvo lugar en Malkin Tower el 10 de abril de 1612. Ocho de los asistentes fueron posteriormente detenidos y juzgados por haber causado daños por brujería, siete de los cuales fueron condenados y ejecutados. Se cree que Malkin Tower habría estado ubicada cerca del pueblo de Newchurch en Pendle y habría sido demolida poco después de los juicios. La única evidencia firme para su ubicación viene de la versión oficial de la secretaría del tribunal, Thomas Potts, que lo sitúa en algún lugar del bosque de Pendle. Las excavaciones arqueológicas en la zona han podido descubrir los restos confirmados del edificio. Varias explicaciones se han propuesto para los orígenes de la palabra Malkin. A pesar de su nombre, Malkin Tower es probable que haya sido una simple cabaña. * Datos: Q6743909 (es)
  • Malkin Tower (or the Malking Tower or Mocking Tower) was the home of Elizabeth Southerns, also known as Demdike, and her granddaughter Alizon Device, two of the chief protagonists in the Lancashire witch trials of 1612. Perhaps the best-known alleged witches' coven in English legal history took place in Malkin Tower on 10 April 1612. Eight of those attending were subsequently arrested and tried for causing harm by witchcraft, seven of whom were found guilty and executed. The house may have been demolished shortly after the trials. The only firm evidence for its location comes from the official account by the clerk of the court, Thomas Potts, who places it somewhere in the Forest of Pendle. Archaeological excavations in the area have failed to discover any confirmed remains of the building. Several explanations have been suggested for the origins of the word Malkin. Despite its name, Malkin Tower is likely to have been a simple cottage. (en)
