| 释义 |
A finger pillory is a style of restraint where the fingers are held in a wooden block, using an L-shaped hole to keep the knuckle bent inside the block.[1] The name is taken from the pillory, a much larger device used to secure the head and hands. Finger stocks were also used in churches for minor offences, like not paying attention during a sermon. An example still survives in St Helen's Church, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, England.[1][2] References1. ^1 {{cite book |last1= Scott |first1=W |year=1907 |title= The Story Of Ashby-de-la-Zouch | publisher= White Lion | pages= 347–348 | location= London| url = |isbn=}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Finger Pillory}}{{Crime-stub}}2. ^{{cite journal |last1= Thompson |first1= A Hamilton |year= 1927–1928|title= Ashby-de-la-Zouch:I.—Architectural Notes on the Church | journal= Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society | volume= 15| pages=56–64 | url = http://www.le.ac.uk/lahs/downloads/AshbyPagesfromVolume.pdf |format=PDF|doi=|jstor= |issue=}} 1 : Physical restraint |
