Village stocks, Gamblesby
-
Description
"What remains of this old device has been mounted on a sandstone plinth, situated on a grass verge near the centre of the village. For a closer look at the ironwork and a description, see Images of England http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=73460 . The stocks, thought to be late 17th century, were reputedly last used to punish someone who stole a turnip (Eden District Council http://www.eden.gov.uk/planning-and-development/planning-policy-for-eden/conservation/conservation-areas/list-of-conservation-areas/?entryid33=17345 )."
