This was put here in 2010. It is a reproduction and is unlikely ever to have been used for real. The pillory was a form of punishment used in medieval times, where the criminal's wrists and neck were secured in the holes and then the village community would pelt the unfortunate occupant with filth. Contrary to popular belief, it would not have been rotten eggs and tomatoes that were thrown. It was probably something far worse than that!
