GREAT AMWELL ST JOHNS LANE TL 3712 (south side) Great Amwell village 12/15 Stocks in churchyard 23 metres west of tower

GV II

Village stocks. Probably C17 or C18. Oak. 2 tall rectangular end posts about 1.5 metres high, capped in lead with tapering oak supports bolted on front and rear narrow faces. Each has a central rectangular slot from ground level, half a metre in height, to receive the 2 horizontal oak timbers with semi- circular notches in opposed edges meant to secure the legs. The upper timber is broken in two pieces and the lower one decayed but complete. The stocks are recorded as being replaced in their original position by R W Mylne on the occasion of Victoria's Jubilee (in 1887) (Harvey (1896) 141), and being moved to the churchyard from behind the George IV PH in the 1920's (Mylne (1973) 5). Part of a picturesque churchyard group. (RCHM (1911) 95).
