Answer:
from medieval times to the early 1800s, criminals who avoided the hangman’s noose might instead receive their punishment in the pillory - a kind of wooden stocks. Once locked into the mechanism, the prisoner would be pelted with rotten eggs, vegetables or even excrement by members of the public. Unbelievably, this provided a form of popular entertainment. In England in 1816, the pillory was abolished except for certain crimes such as perjury. This extract from the diary of social reformer Francis Place describes this punishment in all its gory detail
