Village stocks, located under a chestnut tree on the village green in Grimston. 19th century, with earlier origins. The timber stocks have 2 pairs of leg holes with posts at either end.
The stone behind is actually a much older menhir. Although it looks like a nice back rest, it is too close to offer comfort, and would possibly add to any discomfort of the occupants of the stocks.
