When do you think some one was last convicted of witchcraft in Britain?

I could be wrong but there is a horseshoe in Paisley set into the street that is meant to mark the burial place of the last person to be hung for witchcraft. Dunno if it's the same person though but I'm sure that was the story I heard.

Good point, I doubt these were the last executed in the UK.
