Old Stocks

On this day in 1891 the old stocks were erected in St. Chad's Churchyard.
They were originally outside the churchyard, near the church gate and in 1796 they were so much worn with frequent use that they had to be repaired !

This information is taken from 'Annals of Rochdale ' by Robert D. Mattley.
