Folklore is the study of beliefs and practices once firmly held. Few now believe in charms in giants and fairies, but less than a century ago people in lonely places believed in them. In Worcestershire and it's borders, there are prehistoric remains though.

|
| A witch at Bewdley named Susan Wowen gained great notoriety for it was said, she was so wicked that she grew horns on the back of her head three inches long. These were shed every three years, and it is recorded that a Mr.Soley of Sandbourne had one tipped with silver, while another was sent to the Ashmolean Museums, Oxford. |
