General notes

The website www.lancastercastle.com refers to the pamphlet 'Other Witch Stories' by Melvyn Dod which tells us that "...... At the graveyard in Woodplumpton by the Ribble is the grave of a woman, Meg Shelton 'The Witch of the Fylde' whose body was found crushed between a barrel and a wall in the early 18th Century. There are many stories of this mischievous individual, the most bizarre being that she kept rising from the grave!"
