EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of history in a single frame. Standing proudly in the heart of Market Square, Stow-on-the-Wold, these wooden stocks serve as a poignant reminder of bygone days. The Cotswolds' charm is beautifully encapsulated within this image, showcasing its timeless allure. The weathered timber exudes an air of authenticity and whispers tales from centuries past. As we gaze upon this general view of the stocks, our imagination takes flight, transporting us to a time when justice was served through public humiliation and confinement. Jon Wyand's skilled lens has expertly captured the character and significance of these ancient structures. Through his lens, we are able to appreciate not only their architectural beauty but also their historical importance as symbols of punishment and social order. In this photograph, one can almost hear echoes from long ago - the clattering footsteps on cobblestone streets or perhaps even faint cries for mercy. It serves as a powerful reminder that our present is built upon layers of fascinating stories from those who came before us. As we admire this remarkable image, let us be reminded to cherish our heritage and preserve these tangible links to our past for future generations to marvel at.
