Medieval ducking stool on show
A long running debate about where to place a Herefordshire ducking stool has finally been decided.

The medieval chair will go on public display at Leominster Priory church from Sunday.

The congregation has been divided over whether a church is the right place to house an instrument of torture.

But it has now been agreed it should be displayed at the Priory church. A ceremony of reconciliation is to be held to remember the victims of abuse.
