Try google... I understand they have lots information there....

There was a myriad of punishments for a lot of crimes. The was the dunking stool, trial by fire (holding red hot bars of iron and walking with them certain distance), the stocks and blocks, the rack, mutalation(chopping hand off for theft, ears, eyes, etc.), then the light treatment of whippings and floggings in the public square bound to the pillory. Just a few hope they helped.

Not for the faint of heart...

It depends on what you are looking for. Please note that some of these are extreme and not for the faint of heart and that you will need to PLAN these out to do it safely.

Strip the lady naked and stand her on a table, and examine her closely looking for the witches mark. Use a candle flame to get really really close to her flesh, use a magnifying glass or something. Invite your closest friends, appropriatley dressed as Inquisitors. This one is not a torture per se, but haveing been on the recieving end of it, it works.

Poke her randomly with a needle, looking for a numb spot. A numb spot indicates where she was kissed, or touched by the devil. (not real deeply, but they used to bury the needle in her flesh.)

If bloodplay is your thing, occaisionally they used to cut a suspected witch, to see what color her blood was, if she bled at all. Dark coloured blood, or clear blood indactes a vampire or witch. No blood at all indicates revenant. This is more rare, seems to have been more common in Eastern Europe.

You can crush her, using a board and weights. For a really great scene, take two suspects into custody and put one in the stocks and torture her sister til the stocked one confesses. (This requires LOTS of trust and negotiation and communication between the "suspects". I am looking for someone in my community to do this with.)

I am not sure how to do this next one, I have not found any pictures to give to a local crafts person to make one, but..

The Inquisitors had this wooden or metal thing shaped like a small pear on a tube that was inserted into the vagina. The pear and the tube are both hollow and the pear is made of segments. The opposite end of the tube had some sort of crank that could be turned to expand the pear inside the body, stretching the ladies vagina more and more and more. In extreme cases, the flesh tore and/or the pevlic cradle broke, and the lady usually died. I am looking for someone to make such a thing, and then I need to figure out how to collapse the pear without pinching the walls of the vagina between the sections as it collapses. That part would not be a good pain, I think..

many thanks for your interesting reply, quite a few ideas there. i think were on the same lines. obvioiusly we dont want real damage to be inflicted, it more of a sexual thing. the inspection and stocks were very suitable, thanks again

There was the dunking stool ...

Interesting you should name that one.

i ran across some sites with Water Bondage that ... well the lights all got bright, and i'll leave it at that.

I'm not sure if the wooden pony went as far back as the medieval
times. But here is a link anyway.

I wrote about the wooden pony in one of my stories.
But it was non consent not BDSM.

Then there is the stretching rack etc
(Warning there are some graphic pics - not extreme but warning people anyway)

It shows a picture of the pear also.

I think for the pear the only practical way would be to use an inflatible plug or dildo.

If you used a plain black one and fitted a rough looking wooden handle to it you should be funktional for play.

I speak too soon, Hows this hit you.

Start with a speculum. You could have a mettal worker remove the pistal grip and put a screw spreader in the center.

Could try looking into the Torture Museum in Amsterdam and I think there is something similar in London.

A stretchable latex cover over the expanding end would allow the sections to come together without the vaginal walls getting between them.
