Matthew Hopkins (c. 1620 – 12 August 1647) was an English witch-hunter whose career flourished during the time of the English Civil War. He claimed to hold the office of Witchfinder General, although that title was never bestowed by Parliament. His witch-hunts mainly took place in East Anglia.
Hopkins' witch-finding career began in March 1644 and lasted until his retirement in 1647. During that period, he and his associates were responsible for more people being hanged for witchcraft than in the previous 100 years, and were solely responsible for the increase in witch trials during those years. He is believed to have been responsible for the deaths of 300 women between the years 1644 and 1646. It has been estimated that all of the English witch trials between the early 15th and late 18th centuries resulted in fewer than 500 executions for witchcraft. Therefore, presuming the number executed as a result of investigations by Hopkins and his colleague John Stearne is at the lower end of the various estimates, their efforts accounted for about 60 per cent of the total; in the 14 months of their crusade Hopkins and Stearne sent to the gallows more people than all the other witch-hunters in England of the previous 160 years.

Plot: England is torn in civil strife as the Royalists battle the Parliamentary Party for control. This conflict distracts people from rational thought and allows unscrupulous men to gain local power by exploiting village superstitions. One of these men is Matthew Hopkins, who tours the land offering his services as a persecutor of witches. Aided by his sadistic accomplice John Stearne, he travels from city to city and wrenches confessions from "witches" in order to line his pockets and gain sexual favors. When Hopkins persecutes a priest, he incurs the wrath of Richard Marshall, who is engaged to the priest's niece. Risking treason by leaving his military duties, Marshall relentlessly pursues the evil Hopkins and his minion Stearne.

Here is a short and abridged video on the activities of Matthew Hopkins the self-styled `Witchfinder General`. The video focusses on his life in Manningtree, Essex, and his persecution of innocents claimed by him to be witches. Evidence is partly anecdotal and from records. Hopkins was the source of the modern craze for Halloween, and his book, `The Discovery of Witches` was later used by English settlers in America as a yardstick guide for the further continuation of persecution of innocents as exampled by the infamous `Salem Witch Trials`. The video deals briefly with this topic, and does not include all areas of known persecution in the Manningtree district. There is an alleged `ducking area` known as Hopping Bridge in Manningtree. I was unable on the day of my visit to access this...
Matthew Hopkins was a particularly unpleasant character from the mid seventeenth century in England. As the self styles 'Witch Finder General' he was responsible for the deaths of many people executed for Witchcraft during this time. In general, not the sort of man you'd like to run into. However, if you dare, why not visit 'Scaresville' at Kentwell Hall, Suffolk, the top Halloween attraction in east Anglia, where you may run into Hopkins and his wicked ways. This short film was shot on location at kentwell hall by Ancient Wisdom historical Art direction. It uses Scaresville participants. Thanks to them!

There’s a wealth of zoned-out stream-of-consciousness gold dust alive in the Australian underground right now, a lot of which we’re still catching up with. Half High came to our attention via the advocacy of Mark Harwood of Penultimate Press – he sent us a copy of that great Matthew P. Hopkins LP Vent, a record that quickly won us over with its alien soundtracks and playful psychopathy. This started an aural trail to Hopkins’ collaboration with Lucy Phelan, Half High, a duo sharing Good Area’s talent for glorious empty-brained questing but with a sound sometimes more akin to lo-fi/ minimal wave, perhaps as though Good Area were somehow performing a tribute to Drexciya, if that is in any way conceivable. Half High do plumb some delightful chasms in the magical-ritual-cerebral drone zone too...

On this occasion I decide to focus on some witchcraft legends within my own county of Essex. Essex is historically associated with witches and black magic, a belief largely generated by superstitious country folk whose fear of the devil led to the persecution of many people. Their only crimes were being mostly female, old, poor and physically feeble. The centre-point of many legends was the village of Canewdon, and in particular, a witch named George Pickingill who was very active in the 19th century. Also featured is another Essex legend, a man named Matthew Hopkins the arch-nemesis of `witches`in 17th century England, and a man that later seeded through his work, the persecution of many innocents in Salem, Massachusetts. In addition, we have a visit to Felsted in Essex, a place ste...
