EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era in the village market square of Ripley, Yorkshire. Taken in the 20th century by artist CM Dixon, it showcases an old cross and stocks that were once employed as instruments of punishment and public humiliation during medieval times. The image transports us to a time when justice was served in full view of the community. The stocks, visible in the foreground, stand as a stark reminder of an unforgiving past. These devices immobilized wrongdoers, subjecting them to both physical discomfort and public scorn. Set against the backdrop of this quaint village market square, one can almost imagine bustling activity taking place around these ancient structures. The worn texture on the wooden cross hints at its age and historical significance. Ripley itself exudes charm with its picturesque location in North Yorkshire, England. This photograph serves as a testament to its rich heritage and offers viewers a glimpse into days gone by. CM Dixon's artistic eye has beautifully captured this historic scene with great attention to detail. Through his lens, we are transported back to a time when justice was meted out publicly – reminding us how far society has come since then.
