    This episode welcomes historian and broadcaster Matt Lewis to explore how the Middle Ages imagined monsters. From dragons and demons to mysterious beasts said to haunt the edge of the known world, we look at what these creatures reveal about medieval fears, faith and storytelling.

    Laid to Rest: Funeral Rites and Final Journeys.
    Jul 24 2025

    What do our funerals say about us? In this episode of The Shropshire Witches, we explore the rituals, superstitions, and customs that surround death from the practical to the profound. We look at how people have marked the passage from life to death. Some practices linger, others have vanished but the urge to ritualise grief remains.

    Expect folklore, history, and a few unexpected truths about how the dead were once honoured and what we’ve chosen to forget.
