Matriarchy versus Patriarchy (19). Omnibus filmed us both at Rollright Stones, near where Simon lived, and I explain the premise of the Green Man, the consort of the Goddess.
I used to live in a village just outside Bury St Edmunds. I should know the museum. The mummified cat rings a bell. Witchfinder General was filmed in Lavenham nearby.
I think it’s very telling that in the Moyses Hall museum in Bury St. Edmunds there is scant mention of Bury’s witch trial. Where places like Pendle make an industry of it Bury…buries it. The actual museum was the jail, the witches were held in that very building before “trial” which you would think they might mention. The A14 road now runs through the site of the actual hangings on Thingoe Hill. Even the name suggests why, Bury St. Edmunds being a Christian hub, the past is virtually whitewashed. They do have a mummified cat though, great. I shall watch the video with great interest.
"If, in four hundred years time, the Nazis declared they were reformed and were now a force for good and we should forget their evil past and their terrible atrocities, would we do so?" Pat Mills . Now that would be an intresting read.

It’s the building with the clock tower in the main square. Love Witchfinder General.
It would be tempting to write,too! I think Philip K Dick probably said it all in The Man in the High Castle. But it would be interesting to try, too
