The previous stocks in the St John the Baptist’s Churchyard had deteriorated and the specialist advice was to replace them. Great Amwell Parish Council have employed the local building firm, Between Time, and the stocks have just been put in place.

The children from St John the Baptist School had a first look in, as the carpenters were installing them just as the school visited church for their Pentecost Service. There were some very wide eyes as the children walked past and they were beautifully behaved in church! As they always are… nothing to do with the stocks, I’m sure!
