“If you are interested in medieval forms of punishment you must visit
The Ducking Stool” said the Tourist Information Leaflet . . . now how
could I possibly resist a description like that!!!
So, intrigued and excited, I followed the sign down the little alley . . .
. . . round the corner and out onto the walkway by the river. The Ducking Stool itself, a little wooden stool suspended over the river bank, was surrounded by other interested tourists.
So I had to content myself with reading the Plaque which explained that the stool was used for public punishment for women found guilty of verbal abuse, brawling or other anti-social behaviour.
Well !!! . . . that made me feel all flushed just thinking about it as I strode back up Ducking Stool Walk . . . hoping that my occasional flashes of fun will never be considered as anti-social.
After all, I just want to make people smile and have a little distraction and fun from the everyday norm. And I hope my stroll down Ducking Stool Walk will do that, and qualify for the Alley category at Curvaceous Dee’s Scavenger Hunt.
