In the early 1700s Jane Wenham was driven from Walkern by an angry mob that believed her to be a witch. she was later tried as such in Hertford. It is said that after her death Jane returned to Walkern to haunt the area around the church dedicated to St Mary the Virgin.
she was the last witch to be convicted of witchcraft in England.
