Where was Witchfinder General (1968) filmed?
3 locations on the HorrorMeet Atlas.
- Market Place, Lavenham
The witch burning and the crowd scenes were staged in the market square of this Suffolk wool town, whose crooked timber houses needed almost no dressing. The square is open and the Guildhall on it is National Trust.
- Kentwell Hall, Long Melford
The moated Tudor hall stood in for the place where the accused are tried and John Lowes is hanged. Kentwell is privately owned but opens to the public for much of the year.
- Orford Castle, Suffolk
The cellar of this twelfth century keep is where Hopkins takes Richard Marshall to be tortured, and where Hopkins is shot and hacked apart. The castle is run by English Heritage and visitors can climb to the roof.
