Very interesting. As I child I read all about Scrapfaggot Green. I think it was in a book called "The Screaming Skull and Other True Mysteries". I also lived in Essex and persuaded my father to drive out there, but we couldn't find the location, despite quizzing a few bemused locals. Occasionally, over the years, I'd hoped others would have better luck getting to the bottom of the locations, if not the mystery. Well done on all your hard work, Rick B

Hi Rick, thank you for relating your interest in the location, very similar to my own (Mark) when I think about it.

Appreciate that you probably don’t live in the area any longer, but we’re more than happy to advise the exact location privately if you’re interested. I just find it fascinating that a location can be ‘lost’ in such a relatively short time.

Mark.

Today i visited "the castle" as its known now....found the stone (looks completely different to your photo...and tbh i didnt feel anything when i touched the one currently on display....im not sure its the original stone) just looked up scrapfaggots green as the next place to visit in my calling in finding more about ann...found your article....hmmm, well maybe I'll still try to find it...but no, it doesnt look very impressive now does it lol?! I guess the original site is under the airfield/road. I did find another pub to check out though, from a poster in the castle....the angel in brentwood. Oh, i cant remember...was it great leighs church anns remains were finally buried....or the church in boreham?? Thanks

Hi there!

Apologies for not replying sooner.

Yes - the stone is different now. Our last visit was sometime ago but I understand that it's since been dug out and now displayed far more sympathetically.

Scrappfaggot Green is about a 1/2 mile from the old airfield, the junction was 'remodeled' to allow better access for the wider American construction vehicles. If you mail us at paranormalreason at hotmail dot co dot uk, we can let you know the exact location to save you wasting any more time trying to find it. Perhaps you already drove past it when you visiting the area.

Rumour has it that the witches remains were finally laid to rest at Little Waltham Church, a short distance from the Green. They were buried against the boundary wall, but we're not aware of the exact spot unfortunately.

Thank you for taking the time to reply, it sounded like you had an interesting adventure regardless!
