How were witches punished in the 16th and 17th centuries?

Some were burned, some were hanged and some were tortured. It all depended on where abouts in the world you were! defiantly know Lot were burned but when they were deciding if a person was a witch they would tie them t a chair and place in water if they floated they were a witch and hanged if they drowned well they drowned. i know of one witch in a place called great waltham who is related to the actress Emma Watson (Hermione Granger Harry Potter) is related to this witch. this witch was excommunicated from the Church of England so i think she got of lightly. hope this all helps.
