Welcome to The Stocks

The Stocks Wiltshire is a historic landmark located in the town of Market Lavington, Wiltshire, England. The structure dates back to the 17th century and was originally used as a form of punishment for petty criminals. The Stocks Wiltshire consists of two wooden boards with holes for the offender's legs, which were then locked in place. The offender would then be subjected to public ridicule and sometimes even physical abuse.

Over time, the use of the Stocks Wiltshire as a form of punishment declined, and the structure became more of a tourist attraction. Today, visitors can still see the original Stocks Wiltshire in Market Lavington, which has been preserved as a historical artifact. The structure serves as a reminder of the harsh punishments that were once used to maintain law and order in England.

Despite its dark history, the Stocks Wiltshire has become a beloved landmark in Market Lavington. It is a popular spot for tourists and locals alike, who come to take pictures and learn about the town's history. The structure has also been used as a backdrop for various events and festivals, adding to its cultural significance. Overall, the Stocks Wiltshire is a fascinating piece of history that continues to captivate visitors from all over the world.
