In Callow's analysis, social, political and religious tensions were expressed as witchcraft accusations targeted at three women whose biographies and appearance made them credible as diabolic witches. In I The Last Witches of England i John Callow examines the witch trials of Temperance Lloyd, Susanna Edwards and Mary Trembles in Bideford, Devon, England, in 1682. These three accused women are significant in the annals of English witchcraft because they were the last witches officially executed for the crime of witchcraft in England.
