Description

The stocks and whipping post in Charlton Kings date back to 1763, with the stocks possibly being a restoration or replica from around 1900. They are made of timber and are located under a stone roofed shelter that was also built around 1900. This structure is part of a group that includes St Mary's Hall and the railings and gates nearby.
