GRANNY BOSWELL

'Granny Boswell' (c.18171906) had a reputation as a witch in early-20th century Helston, in Cornwall, United Kingdom.
Of Romany lineage, she was born in Ireland and later married Ephraim Boswell, known as the 'King of the Gypsies.' From the 1860s onwards she lived in West Cornwall, mostly on the Lizard, and ended her days at the Helston workhouse as a pauper. She was regarded as a nuisance by the local authorities and feared by many as an ill-wisher.
