The MP for Exeter is backing a petition calling for the last three witches hanged in Exeter to receive an official pardon.
The women were executed in Heavitree on August 25th 1682 after being convicted of witchcraft on hearsay evidence under a law devised under King James the First.
The Justices did not believe them guilty but responded to an angry mob demanding a hanging.
Ben Bradshaw has signed up to an e-petition asking the Ministry of Justice to acknowledge their innocence.
