This week Martin is leading us back into marshy bogs which no longer exist to talk all about the history and folklore of the half-forgotten county of Huntingdonshire! We start by discussing St Catherine's Day traditions, including Cathern Bowls, Cathern Queens, and Catherine Wheels, as well as Catherine's grisly demise. After which, it's time to visit another county which no long exists - Huntingdonshire, the historic seat of the Cromwell family. We chat about subjects including the Three Wonders of Huntingdonshire, the Robin Hood and Little John stone, the county's Roman remnants, its legacy of highway robbery, and much more, and for this week's County Dish we talk Stilton Cheese and Oliver Cromwell's favourite pudding, Barley Broth! On the folklore front, interspersed with some excerpts from next Saturday's Local Legends interview with historian and author Dr Maureen James, we talk about the folk hero Raveley Jack, the ghostly drummer boy of Alconbury, the tale of a farmer possessed and seemingly killed by the Devil, and much more besides. Then it's on to the main event: Martin's story, "The Witches of Warboys" - a narrative retelling of one of the most infamous witch trials in English History... We hope you enjoy it, and will be back on Thursday with both our final Something Wicked bonus episode about Henry VIII and our Patreon Exclusive Film Club episode about the 2017 folk horror film November, ahead of Saturday's full Local Legends chat with Maureen! The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon. Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past... Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays (Magic and Medicines about folk remedies and arcane spells, Three Ravens Bestiary about cryptids and mythical creatures, Dying Arts about endangered heritage crafts, and Something Wicked about folkloric true crime from across history) plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.
