Door Knockers
Here's another thing that I'll be adding to over the months- comedy door knockers. The one on the left is from the North door of Durham cathedral. It was a sanctuary knocker-- any criminal who got ahold of it could stay in the church for 40 days setting his affairs in order before being turned over to the police. The original is in the crypt of the cathedral now. The other one is from the old Fish Street in Worcester, and is on the door of a Tudor house near the River Severn.
