- James_Murrell abstract "James Murrell (c.1785 – 16 December 1860) was an English cunning man, or professional folk magician, who spent most of his life in the Essex town of Hadleigh. Historian Ronald Hutton has characterised Murrell as the "most celebrated cunning man in the whole of nineteenth-century southern England".Born in Rochdale, Essex, Murrell grew up in the area before moving to Southwark in London, where he was married in 1812. Having seventeen children with his wife, they later moved back to Essex, settling in Hadleigh, where Murrell gained work as a shoemaker. At some point he also began working as a cunning man, gaining fame for his work in this field on both sides of the Thames Estuary. On a number of occasions his magical activities gained the attention of the local press. His activities proved controversial in the local area, with many educated figures criticising what they saw as his role in encouraging superstition; his death certificate recorded his profession as that of a "quack doctor".Murrell's fame greatly increased after his death when he was made the subject, albeit in a highly fictionalised form, of a 1900 novel by Arthur Morrison. Morrison also produced a more objective study of the cunning man, with further research later conducted by Essex folklorist Eric Maple. Murrell has continued to attract the attention of historians and folklorists studying English folk magic, and is referenced in works by scholars like Hutton, Owen Davies, and Ralph Merrifield.".

- James_Murrell quote ""Superstition it seems, is as powerful now as when ghosts walked the earth, and witches were weighed against the Church Bible. We are, says a correspondent, quite equal to the people in the days of old; for we have our magicians, necromancers, and such like, to bring the hidden things to light. There is an old man named Murrells, a sort of quack doctor and herbalist living at Hadleigh, who has been practicing the magician for years, and in some cases successfully; and many persons are in the habit of going to him for advice and assistance[...] Of course the little old man in knee breeches and gaiters, and an old coat, is looked upon in the neighbourhood as more potent than a whole troop of policemen."".
