Bickerstaffe Stocks A pair of stock stones and a presumably modern stocks.
The plaque next to the stocks has the following inscription:
'Bickerstaffe Stock Stones
The earliest documentary reference to stocks in Bickerstaffe is 1750, when William Grayston, one of the Constables of Bickerstaffe, applied for 4 shillings and 10 'old' pence for a 'new Stock Stoop a stalple and repairing of the lockes'. Stocks in Bickerstaffe were depicted on Ordinance [sic] Survey maps in 1845, 1893, 1908 and 1927.
The site is the same location as the 1845 map. Stocks are a visible reminder of one of the ways in which minor felons were published from medieval time until the 19th Century. This location is typical of the public setting in which such structure were positioned in order to give both maximum exposure to the miscreant and a warning to others of the penalties likely to be imposed for any wrong doing.
When the road junction was improved in the early 1970's, these stock stones were saved for the Parish of Bickerstaffe by the efforts of Jean Winstanley, 1931-2012.'
