Folklore on Friday: The Essex Cunning Man
One of the best known cunning men in England was “Cunning Murrell” of Hadleigh, Essex. James Murrell is said to have been born in Rochford in 1780. At one time he worked for a chemist in London but in about 1810 became a shoemaker in Hadleigh where he openly practised as a cunning man. He earned part of his living by telling fortunes, administering potions and drugs. He also claimed to have the power of counteracting witchcraft, discovering thieves and finding stolen property. One posthumous document from a farmer at Tiptree complained of being possessed with “a damnable spirit of infernal torment", which prevented him from gathering his harvest, wives who suspected their husbands of infidelity wrote to Murrell asking for the other woman to be named and shamed.
Cunning Murrell was certainly not a charlatan. In the 20th century a Mr Pilcher of Great Wakering described how Murrell was called in to treat his father's consumption. On discovering that a quack had recommended a course of bleeding Murrell said “you want blood put into you, not taken out of you” and then prescribed herbal medicine instead.
Some people thought that Murrell was an agent of the devil. He often boasted of being “the devil’s master” whatever he meant by that. One of his specialties was recovering lost property and a Mrs Watson spoke of a boy in the village who once consulted him concerning some money he had lost from a box. Murrell first made certain that the boy had told no one else, then told him not to worry as the money had been taken for a purpose and would be put back again. He asked “Will you keep quiet if I show you the woman who took it and never speak of it during her lifetime?” When the boy agreed Murrell showed him in a glass an image of his own mother. Soon after that the boy found the money back in the box.

Soon after that the boy found the money back in the box.
Murrell’s other great area of expertise was as a witch finder. He was supposed to be able to call out the witches of Canewdon. He used to identify other witches by advising people how to heat a witch bottle to “draw the witch”, that is making the witch reveal herself by causing her terrible pain. He seemed to have experimented with using iron witch bottles which he had cast by the Hadleigh blacksmith, though elsewhere in 1804 such a bottle exploded killing the client and one of Murrell 's own bottles burst with such an explosion that the fireplace was wrecked.
Cunning Murrell died on the 16th of December 1860 and was buried on the east side of Hadleigh churchyard in an unmarked grave.
Although his death certificate said “James Murrell, profession quack, death of natural causes”, one elderly resident of Rayleigh spoke of a man who boasted that he “did for” Cunning Murrell. His donkey had been bewitched and he thought Murrell was to blame. Getting hold of a bottle he put into it some of the donkey’s hair and some of his own nail clippings. Then he put the bottle on the fire. When it burst there came a loud banging on the door. However, it was locked and he would not open it and very soon Cunning Murrell was dead.

Local resentment continues in the Bedfordshire town of Dunstable, where just a couple of weeks ago, the historical wedding venue The Old Palace Lodge suddenly sacked its staff, closed its doors and announced it was taking on a Home Office contract.
This could only mean one thing – unknown and undocumented migrant males from Africa, Albania and the Middle East being bussed in to the town.
This afternoon three activists delivered 900 leaflets to residents of the town, alerting them to the ongoing issue and to raise awareness of a public meeting to be addressed by the town’s MP this Thursday (16th).
Our volunteers received positive responses from residents, some of whom reported they were unaware of the meeting with MP Andrew Selous and have stated that they will now be coming to speak out against the placement of illegal migrants in Dunstable.
If you live in the area and want to oppose the housing of third world migrant males at taxpayers' expense get in touch and play your part.

This perfectly reasonable enquiry was referenced by Andrew Selous MP at the very beginning of his talk at Dunstable this evening. The MP expressed his concern about the well-being of the illegals being housed in the hotel which shows he doesn't care about the safety of the long term native residents of the town.
Folklore on Friday: The Toadmen of the Fens
The Toadmen of the East Anglian fens were not some swamp dwelling creatures from a sci-fi B movie but an essential feature of rural life until as recently as the 1930s.
These living treasures of fenland farming were able to tame even the wildest of horses. It is said that a horse under the control of the Toadmen would remain completely motionless and would resist all attempts to make it move. But these were no mere horse whisperers, indeed their name itself points to a much darker secret.
The name ‘Toadman’ is said to derive from their elaborate rituals. One account describes them catching a live toad which was then pegged to an ant’s nest. The ants would eat the toad’s skin and flesh leaving only the bones.
The Toadmen would then keep the bones in their pockets until they were completely dried out. Then, on the night of a full moon, they would take the bones down to a stream and place them in the water where the bones would let out a horrifying scream. Soon a certain bone would become dislodged from the skeleton and begin to float upstream. The Toadmen would fish this bone from the stream and use it to make a strange herbal brew; this would give them their power over horses – and the name ‘Toadmen’.
There is historical evidence to show that the services of Toadmen were employed on farms in Cambridgeshire to help with breeding and ploughing. It’s likely that they drew their ‘powers’ from an esoteric knowledge of herb-lore and that the use of ritual helped to keep their knowledge secret. Secret knowledge helps to grant a certain amount of power to those ‘in the know’. It's also worth remembering that people who used traditional remedies would once have been persecuted by the Church for their beliefs.
The demise of the Toadmen was inevitable as diesel powered tractors became widespread and is a sad reminder that we can sometimes forget as much as we learn. It would have been interesting to see what modern pharmacology could have done with the this fenland ‘magic’.

One bold PA activist took it upon himself to deliver over 100 of our 2066 and Love your Country leaflets in Luton at the weekend.
There are some areas of the town where the native White British are in single figures - e.g. Bury Park where according to the 2021 census fewer than 5% of the population is White British. Therefore selecting where in the town to deliver PA leaflets needs careful planning and some courage.
Luton is a sign of things to come if we do not push back against the corrupt and treacherous politicians of all parties who have allowed this to happen.
Play your part

More coverage of PA's engagement in Dunstable last week. Andrew Selous, the local MP, showed more concern for the plight of these fighting age male migrants who have travelled through several safe countries before arriving on our shores, than he did the heartfelt and valid concerns of local residents.

Folklore on Friday: Norfolk's Hidden Treasure
Gresham is a small village on the north Norfolk coast, close to the highest point of the county. Folklorist William de Castre wrote in 1920 about a stone cross that stands at the spot where four roads meet on the boundary of this parish and Alymerton. Underneath it is a subterranean passage which runs from the ruined castle at Gresham to Beeston Abbey. In this passage a golden image, shaped life like a calf is said to be hidden.
It is also said that 60 years previously a “cunning man” had been hired by an old lady to search for this golden calf. A pit was sunk in her parlour not far from the cross, but the excavations began to undermine adjacent land, so a stop was put to further digging and the treasure remains to be found.
The golden image shaped like a calf is an echo of the Bible story of the Israelites and the golden calf. It is the archetypal example often used by preachers of idolatry which was an accusation often levelled at Catholics by early Protestants and like other such traditions this one may be based on anti Catholic rumour.

Today's demonstration against mass immigration in Skegness was another amazing display of what nationalists can achieve.
Well over 400 people were in attendance and PA speakers were joined by a number of locals.
This event passed off flawlessly with no violence and not a single counter demonstrator in sight! In fact it was such a model event I would bet that the mainstream media completely ignores it.
This is why they don't want us on Twitter, because footage like this would give hope and inspiration to millions across both the UK and other Western countries.
Thank you so much to all those who attended and to all the PA organisers and activists who helped make the day such a resounding success.
