Description
Stocks located in the churchyard, approximately 22 metres west of the west end of the Church of St Michael. These stocks date from the 18th century, and may be even older. They are made of wood and feature hinges with seven circular openings. A 20th-century gabled canopy supported by wooden posts has been added. At the time of the survey in March 1984, the stocks were noted to be in poor condition. They have been relocated within the churchyard.
