Sundial and Stocks on Village Green

Erected in 1790, this sundial and stocks still stand on the Village Green in Thornton. The stocks were in demand for drunks and debtors. Fortunately they are no longer in use—the long  line waiting their turn for punishment would surround the Village. Does it remind you of a long-haul flight with no leg room maybe?
