        The South Gateway & Stocks outside the Parish Church of All Saints in Martock are Grade II Listed Buildings. The Gateway is dated 1627 from the inscription over the archway 'Robert Jeane & Thomas Rowe, Churchwardens, Ano Dni 1627'. The stocks, on the south-east side of the Gateway, have four leg-holes with iron straps and no seats, date unknown. The 1351 Statute of Labourers prescribed the use of the stocks for the punishment of 'unruly artisans' and required that every town and village erect a set of stocks. Public stocks were typically positioned in the most prominent place available, so that the persons condemned could be subjected to a variety of abuses, ranging from having refuse thrown at them to the tickling of the unprotected feet. Stocks were commonly used in England for over 500 years, but their last recorded use in the UK was in 1872; however it seems they have never been formally abolished...
