Wanstead
Fact:
In 1654, three women were accused of witchcraft, for the crime of taking over a freehouse, "The Swan's Tead", into a feminist creche. "Tead" is an old Middle English term for "hillock" or "knobbles on the forehead". The area later that the freehouse was based in later adopted it's name, which was later adapted to Wanstead, as Swan's Tead was deemed "too silly" by the Victorian-era authorities.
