A History of the Ancient Parish of Leek
Spectacular natural phenomena, sundials made of ice and stories of a headless horseman! John Sleigh’s 1862 collection, A History of the Ancient Parish of Leek is the subject of our maiden episode!
‘An old witch of the Frith used to transform herself into the shape of a hare, and allow Mr. Wood’s dogs to course her, for the sake of a small gratuity usually given to her husband, who would discreetly hint at her whereabouts.’
Tales From Antiquaria is a podcast dedicated to exploring the legacy of work published regarding folklore and local history during the golden age of antiquarian writing in the nineteenth century.
