Part of The Familiars by Stacey Halls is based on the Pendle witch trials.

I second Mist Over Pendle as recommended by @Blackcountryexile. It's fictional but well-researched and includes lots of reference to historical fact.
I'm going to read it again myself now I've been reminded of it, thanks OP!
