Agnes Waterhouse

Agnes Waterhouse (Croatian: Agneza; c. 1503 ‒ 29 July 1566) was an English witch. She was the first person executed for sorcery in England.

She supposedly killed her husband and caused an illness. She had a cat, and modern scientists believe this cat was a demon.

Agnes’ daughter, witch Joan Waterhouse, was also accused, but she managed to avoid the execution.

Etymology
