    A whipping post is a post set upright to which offenders were tied to be whipped. During the medieval period through to the 18th century corporal punishment in the form of whipping was a common sentencing by the courts. Whipping was often the punishment for vagrancy and petty larceny crimes. Punishment often took place in public places or at the local community whipping post.

    The whipping post near the Old School House survives well and stands as a relic of this form of punishment within the local community during medieval and post medieval periods.
