Brougham Hall Door Knocker

A friend of mine has a photo gallery in a (being) restored 14th century Hall with a rather wonderful door knocker.  While the design of this door knocker may be very old, the object itself is rather more modern.

At some time the original door knocker was stolen and sold at auction!



You can find out about the Hall here.

I'm really busy at present - so comments from last week remain unanswered - it's nothing you have done, its more to do with the amount I have to do!  I will try and catch up as soon as possible.

Linking this post to I Heart Macro and Macro Monday 2.

    There was a novel that my 4th graders would read called "A Lion to Guard Us" that featured a lion door knocker like that. The story took place in the 1600s in England and was a fictional account of children traveling to Jamestown to meet up with their father. They were on the boat that was shipwrecked. Anyway nice to know there was such a doorknocker.

    Fascinating history of this beautiful Hall! I pulled up the site and read about it and then looked it up elsewhere as well (my hubby did that on his computer for me) Really interesting! Love the door knocker too! Hope you have a productive week and come back to commenting when you can. I know how life can get in the way of blogging sometimes. ( lol)
