The Three Ravens is a dramatisation of the life of John Bradshawe: regicide and Chief Justice of the Palatinate of Chester and Flintshire, where he oversaw several witch trials in Chester Castle and at Flint. You can watch the film here: claredudman.com/three-ravens/.

Many thanks to Tom Hudson of LiveHistory for running this.
