Ducking stool tale ties to Winchester lore and town clock
A local note recalls a magistrate case where a woman accused of being a common scold faced a jury under an old law that ordained the ducking stool as punishment. The writer muses on Winchester traditions, nearby historical sites, and the fate of heirs to old cruelties, ending with a tribute to Mark Twain and a memorial poem.
