The stocks are the same style as those in nearby Dunchurch village. These are very well preserved with the seat at the rear being in line with the stocks. This would be where the offenders were seated with their limbs restrained.

There is a good old photograph available here visit link

The nearby places are named after the stocks with Stocks Lane and Stocks House being next to them.
