Stocks, St George's Churchyard
Under the yew tree is the village stocks. Villages were once required by law to maintain stocks for the punishment of offenders. Their legs or hands were held in apertures cut in two planks which were padlocked together and held by stone or wooden vertical supports. Stocks were usually erected in public places such as village green, market squares, or near churches so that passers-by could add to the severity of the sentence according to their reactions to the crime, details of which were often displayed on a notice board.

Yew tree, St George's Churchyard
The churchyard is dominated by a 1,000 year old yew tree. The ancient tradition that this evergreen sheltered the first Christian missionaries to Britain before their churches were built is one of the many explanations put forward to account for the large numbers of yews found in country churchyards. The yew is also a life symbol, and was sometimes scattered on graves. The longbows of medieval archers came from straight, knot-free lengths cut from tall, selected trees. But these were unlikely to be churchyard yews – the best bow staves were imported from Spain.
