Witch of wookey hole display, wells and mendip museum
Posted by adminJan 6

From the Brittania website:
Deep in the dark caverns of Wookey Hole dwelt at one time the Witch of Wookey – and dwells there still, if the gossips are to be trusted, though she, her pots and pans and horrid "familiars," are all turned to stone. A chagrined and disappointed woman, she used her merciless arts to blight girls’ lives and keep them from the joys denied to herself. But she reckoned without a certain Holy Clerk of Glastonbury! With his Good Book he exorcised the Witch, and turned her to stone; he then cleansed from all evil the dreadful cavern.
The Wells and Mendip Museum is a small museum next to Wells Cathedral in the city of Wells. It is a registered charity and an accredited member of the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council. The exhibits include items of local history and archaeological finds. The museum charges a fee of £3 for entry, but the ticket is valid for a year.
