TM3183 : The Village Stocks

near to St Margaret South Elmham, Suffolk, Great Britain

The Village Stocks
The Village Stocks
The village stocks in the church porch, the keen eyed amongst you will notice 5 slots.
Stocks were for light punishment and humiliation. A victim would have their legs put into the stocks and rotten fruit and veg hurled at them. After a period of time had passed they were let go.

Bring it back into use I say, better than an ASBO.
