Unfortunately, the witch's shift conformed to EU regulations and was as fire resistant as the EU flag. Pity nobody had asked the Brexiters about this beforehand.
That must have been a thrilling experience to ride the ducking stool. I've seen a number of videos of the stool being used. However, I have heard that this is no longer done in Alnwick.That`s Alnwick Fair i have been on that stool a few times

The Tank was refilled every morning by Northumberland Water and the first girl convictedBeing strapped to the chair, barefoot, and suspended above the crowd for all to see before being plunged into the tank--which was probably full of cold water--would undoubtedly have been a very memorable experience. I would like to have watched that while locked the pillory.
Sad to hear that North Country girls are so dirty that they make the water grubby.The Tank was refilled every morning by Northumberland Water and the first girl convicted
at the morning court screamed her head off after the initial gasping, that water was freezing.
i was first in twice over two years and i yelled as loud as any of them. The water had got a bit
grubby though by the final court of the day.

There is a nice story in "Good Omens" (the book not the TV series) where "Them" dunk Adam's little sister. They asked her "Are you a witch?" - she said "Yes" straight away as she wanted to be a witch. So they had to "torture" her to make her say "No" in order to torture her to make her admit that she was a witch. Thus she was dunked in a pond, but they get into trouble as she comes home all green with pondweed.

"Good Omens" by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman (Corgi edition)
It starts about page 135 where "Them" decide to play "Spanish Inquisition"as they have just met Anathema Device and think she may be a witch.
They need some practice before they could "Put Anathema to the Question". So they enlist Pepper's little sister (my mistake, not Adam's sorry).
The torturing starts page 143. This was not in the TV series.
For Dorothy or anyone interested here are the leading characters as envisaged by "Juliedillon" on Deviant Art.
