Whipping Stock Area

This area is between the east wall of the porch and the west wall of the St Nicholas Chapel (South Transept). The whipping stocks were situated here and wooden railings between the porch and transept walls fenced them in.. The rain water drain pipe is one of seven situated around the church walls, each one has a collector at its head into which rain water from the head of a gargoyle discharges. They were all fitted in memory of particular persons and date from Victorian times.
