Description
The village stocks, dating from the 18th century and possibly earlier, are located in the churchyard about 25 metres northwest of the tower of the Church of All Saints. They have been reset under a 19th-century gabled canopy. Made of wood, the stocks are hinged in two pieces and feature five circular openings, which are now in a state of decay. In front of the stocks, there is a low wooden bench, which is assumed to be from the 19th century.
