Kemp was accused of (and apparently confessed to) using familiars to kill and bring sickness to her neighbours. ==Biography== Kemp was born in St Osyth, Essex. She was a cunning woman who was frequently called upon by her neighbours to heal various ailments and sicknesses. She was later blamed for intentionally causing illness and death, eventually being tried for witchcraft at Chelmsford in February 1582.〔 At her trial, several of her neighbours testified against her, making statements to Justice Brian Darcy. Along with her friend, Alice Newman, she was accused of causing the deaths of Edna Stratton, and two children, Joan Thurlow and Elizabeth Letherdale.〔 〕
