Nan Hardwicke was a real person, a real witch living in North Yorkshire. She is mentioned in Peter Walker’s book, Murders and Mysteries from the North York Moors, a book my dad used to read to us when we camped on the moors in my childhood. She’s mentioned in William Henderson’s 19th C. book, Notes on the Folklore of the Northern Counties of England and the Borders. She’s always mentioned briefly, as a witch hare, fleeing from hunters, living in a cottage in Danby, or in a farm near Danby.
