Stambourne
Stambourne is a village and civil parish in the Braintree District in north Essex, England. Stambourne derives from an old local dialect term for 'stony brook'. Stambourne's closest neighbouring villages are Ridgewell, Toppesfield, Cornish Hall End and Great Yeldham. The parish church of St Peter and St Thomas Becket dates from the 11th century and is a grade I listed building. 〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 title= Name: PARISH CHURCH OF ST PETER AND ST THOMAS List entry Number: 1317130 ) 〕 == History == Stambourne was caught up, as was much of England, in the witchcraft hysteria of the seventeenth century. In 1663, the spinster Sarah Houghton of Stambourne was charged by the authorities with causing John Smyth to become "consumed and made infirme." A jury including John Levett and Matthew Butcher found Houghton guilty, and she was ordered to be hanged. She was reprieved after the jury had rendered their judgment.〔(Witchcraft in Tudor and Stuart England, Alan Macfarlane, James Anthony Sharpe, published by Routledge, 1999, ISBN 0-415-19612-4, ISBN 978-0-415-19612-3 )〕
