	*Town Stocks*
	The photo shown left, c1900, was obviously posed for the benefit of the camera. The last time the stocks were used was in 1859 when Henry Eldridge was ordered to 6 hours in them for failing to pay a fine. A noisy crowd of many hundreds objected so much, that he was released after only 25 minutes.
