Horsham Stocks

Been a bit tied up recently ;-)

In a quick research of these stocks, I found out that one of Horsham's more infamous claims to fame was that it was the last place in England to carry out the 'peine forte et dure' (hard and severe punishment) in 1735, although Cambridge claim to have carried it out in 1741.

More about these stocks and cruelty of Horsham can be reviewed on the 'Horrible Horsham' site.
