11 photos behind-the-scenes of short film about the Pendle Witch Trials starring Burnley girl and Nelson woman alongside Bank of Dave's Jo Hartley and Burn Gorman of Game of Thrones and The Dark Knight Rises

Director Emma Swinton’s The Witch’s Daughter features Burnley girl Esme Whalley and Nelson woman Maureen Roberts as well as big names like Jo Hartley of Bank of Dave, and Burn Gorman of Game of Thrones and The Dark Knight Rises.

The film is based partly on the true events of the Pendle Witch Trials in 1612 and tells the story of how Lancashire nursemaid Sarra played by Jo Hartley helps to groom an impoverished nine-year-old, Jennet Device, to testify against her own family as they stand trial for witchcraft.

Esme was cast as Jennet in her first film role, while Maureen took the part of Elizabeth Southerns, and Burn Gorman played Roger Nowell.
