Pendle

Witch Country

«Praise for Alastair’s previous portraits of Pendle: `They’re not just pretty pictures but images that speak of a fundamental appreciation of the hills as a refuge from the world and a visionary vantage point, a unique wild character in the landscapes of our imagination. Our relationships with place are particular, personal and intimate. Lee’s climbing colleagues in countries with vast mountain ranges may not understand the British fondness for enigmatic lumps and nub-ends of hills sticking out of the countryside, but we have always loved them.’ (Paul Evans, The Guardian).»

Lancashire-based multi-award-winning photographer and film-maker Alastair Lee once again turns his lens to his spiritual home: Pendle Hill. After the success of Alastair’s previous local publications, Forgotten Landscape (2004) and Pendle, Landscape of History and Home (2009) comes the third and most atmospheric collection of images to date: Pendle: Witch Country.

Lancashire-based multi-award-winning photographer and film-maker Alastair Lee once again turns his lens to his spiritual home: Pendle Hill. After the success of Alastair’s previous local publications, Forgotten Landscape (2004) and Pendle, Landscape of History and Home (2009) comes the third and most atmospheric collection of images to date: Pendle: Witch Country. This evocative new book traces the contours of East Lancashire’s most distinctive landmark to revisit the infamous events that took place under its brooding presence in the seventeenth century, before chronicling the evolution of the vibrant communities that now flourish beneath its flanks. Celebrating the independent spirit of these upland dwellers and intimately capturing how Pendlefolk interact with this epic landscape, the pages of this illuminating book are permeated with the flora, fauna, farming and the very fabric of the hill – along with the occasional whisper of witchcraft.
