The stocks were re-constituted in 2003 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Queen’s coronation. The new stocks were built by Derek Bowen.
The positioning of the stocks just outside the church gate would have been a reminder for those who missed church. By a law of 1490, not yet repealed, each village was required to provide a set of stocks for this purpose.
