Pendle Sculpture Trail

Overview

Discover the fascinating true story of the Pendle Witches in stone.  The Pendle Sculpture Trail has 10 ceramic plaques with unique symbols that represent each of the Pendle people hanged 400 years ago in the biggest witchcraft trial in England. Find the plaques in a treasure trail style quiz with several mythical creatures dotted throughout providing helpful clues.

Work from Lead Artist, Philippe Handford, includes a ‘walking wall’, an eerie tree that grabs you by the roots, and ‘tumbling’ tree arches. There is also a life-size witchfinder general figure and creatures such as bats and a spider.
