Jane Brookes was a lady strung up at the Chard assizes for Witchcraft by the good folks of Shepton Mallet. Seems to be a bit of a possible causal link with the recently discovered (by me) witch marks in Nancy Camel's which add to the superstitious flavour of East Mendip. Croscombe is mentioned because Nancy Camel was a supposed resident there and perhaps memories are muddled over time, and less documented than Jane but Jane seems a more relevant and real person. For more info the MCG articles refer.
Anyway here's a version of Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls. Not perfect, but hope to add to weight to the bad victimisation of witches and other supposed underclasses...
And I'd give up forever to live now
'Cause I hope you'll save me somehow
I'm the closest to heaven you'll never be
And I don't wanna to die here right now
And all I can taste is mass torment
And all I can breathe is this fire
When ever life or death is over
I just don't wan'all fires tonight
And I wish the all the world to see me
'Cause I wish they'll just understand
When Shepton hopes I'll be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And your eyes fake truth that ain't coming
Or the hate bred in all of your lives
When hiding truth suits all of your lives
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive
Yes, I'm bleeding, yes I'm so alive
And I wish all the world will see me
'Cause Croscombe they won't understand
When Shepton killed me to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I wish all the world to see me
'Cause Croscombe they won't understand
When Shepton killed me to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I wish all the world to see me
'Cause Croscombe they won't understand
When Shepton killed me to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
