About this item

Photograph, 23 April 1975. Head and shoulders portrait of Joy Britton, wearing a crocheted cap with a butterfly ornament, one of the Bexhill Observer prints from the evening of the ceremony reported on 26 April 1975. The paper described her as 21, the daughter of the high priestess, brought up in the Church of England and initiated 'just over two years ago'. She told the reporter that she had become interested through her mother and through reading about Alex Sanders, and that 'Witchcraft is my religion.' The print is numbered 17 on the museum's list and was published with the caption 'below is Joy Britton'. Byline: Jimmy Burke. Bexhill Museum item 105.
