DSC_071_The_Stocks

Not the usual sort of thing you find in a churchyard or cemetery, however this is England and more importantly Yorkshire and we do things differently. In the village of Almondbury on the outskirts of Huddersfield in West Yorkshire the village stocks where rogues and ne'er-do-wells endured public humiliation are not in the square , but in the bounds of the the parish church. The road behind that can be seen in the "Stocks in Situ" frame is fittingly called "Stocks Walk"
