Jane Wenham is the most famous of the “Women of Walkern” with much written about her and her trial for witchcraft in 1712, a trial that changed the law.

On Sunday July 12th 2026, a memorial stone will be unveiled by the Bishop of Hertford inside St Mary’s church Walkern in memory of Jane and in recognition of the injustices done to her.
The event will start at 2pm and refreshments will be provided.
