Descend into Madness

The Witchcraft Murder - The tale of Charles Walton


Listen Later

Welcome back to Descend Into Madness and we’re kicking off Season 2 with a Valentines Day special! However, there will be no romance, roses, or chocolates in this one. 

Georgia and Cherie take you back to the 14th February 1945, in the sleepy little town of Lower Quinton in Warwickshire. On the slopes of a local farm field, the mutilated body of Charles Walton would be found. His neck had been slashed and a pitchfork pinned him to the ground. Was this a ritual killing to replenish the land? Was Charles Walton a practising witch? Is this basically real life ‘Hot Fuzz’?! Or is there a simpler explanation for the old man’s death? 

Cherie and Georgia take a look at Charles’ life and the investigation which followed his death. Join the girls as they unravel the mystery, which has haunted Lower Quinton for years, with their usual dry humour and sarcasm along the way. Stripping back the theories, rumours, and folklore, to bring you the true story of Charles Walton. Taking you from the womb to the missing tomb stone.
