Description
The stocks and bench located about 14 meters south of the porch of the Church of St Gregory date from the 17th to 18th century and have been extensively restored. Made of wood and iron, they feature a standard plan with six circular openings and measure approximately 1.75 meters in length, with the bench still in place. It is uncommon to find a bench that has survived alongside the stocks. The entire structure has been relocated within the churchyard.
