Horseheath in Cambridgeshire was, many years ago, a focal point for large numbers of witches and wizards. They flocked to the area from miles around to attend the numerous midnight jollifications and frolics which took place in the nearby deserted fields. One witch, it was noted, arrived by broomstick, another danced a fine hornpipe and a third was held to sing a good song.

Daddy Witch was believed to be a frequent visitor to these gatherings and she was one of the earliest recorded witches in the locality. She was, it was claimed, an ancient, boney creature, half clothed in rags, who lived in a hut by the sheep pond in Garrets Close. Her knowledge and skills, tradition continues, were gained from a book called 'The Devil's Plantations'.
