[28] Hutton, in his “History of Derby,” says—“1601. A woman burnt in Windmill Pit, for poisoning her husband.” From this it appears it was the usual place of execution for criminals for many years.
[29] Joan Waste, blind from her birth, the daughter of a poor barber, in the parish of All Hallowes (All Saints’), was, at the age of 22, burnt as a heretic in Windmill Pit, just outside the town. She was a godly woman, learned in the Holy Scriptures, which she was diligent in getting read to her, and condemned for denying transubstantiation, and after being taken to All Saints’ Church to hear a sermon on herself, she was burnt on the first of August, 1556.
