4. Spalding’s Pillory was called “White Willey”

It used to be the practice to flog those that were sentenced by the order of the magistrates, at the Quarter Sessions, and were also made to stand in the pillory; it consisted of a wooden frame upon four wheels, and was called the White Willey. The last person that stood in the pillory was Susan Meeks, by order of Dr. Shaw, for keeping a house of ill-fame in the year 1787. [1]
