Doorknocker if the form of a demonic face. Not, in my opinion, as threatening as the famous one on the main door at Durham Cathedral. This one is from the cathedral (Dom) at Trier, Germany, and is still scary enough to ward off any malicious spirits associated with the turn of the year.
This intricate example of a blacksmith’s art showing a blacksmith at work was at the back of Cologne Cathedral.
Tractor weathervane, on a farm (where else) in Bishops Castle in the Marches.
Turtle doorknocker: perhaps the house of a Discworld fan? Southwold – a short row-boat ferry trip across the River Blyth from Walberswick, where the pictures in yesterday’s post were taken.
Some thatched houses have little sculptures in straw along the ridge of the roof line, as “signatures” of the craft of the roofers. These particularly fine examples were from Walberswick on the Suffolk coast.
Fishy weathervane: I’m sure someone more knowledgeable than me could identify the species, on the lifeboat station at St Ives.
