Perhaps if you made it amenity=stocks, they might get used?

But seriously I think this is a small enough usage that you just do it;
it isn't going to get rendered unless by a historical society. Any idea
how many there actually are?

If we had one round here the vandals would burn it down. Probably whilst
in it..
