As an important coaching village on the route from Holyhead to London and Oxford to Leicester, Dunchurch would have been a focal point for travellers. People held in the stocks would have been on public display to a large audience.
The old seat still exists next to the stocks being a two seater where offenders were sat with their ankles secured in the holes. They were last used in 1866.
