Copper alloy door fitting. Cast plate to surround the keyhole in a wooden door, with a keyhole-shaped aperture surrounded by a moulded rayed pattern which becomes ribbed or segmented on the thickened outer edge of the plate. The keyhole aperture also stands a little proud of its setting; a drilled hole below the hole is presumably for fixing the plate.

An incomplete, copper alloy object of uncertain date, likely post-Medieval. It is a decorative attachment, likely from a door. The object is made from a thin sheet of metal 0.49mm thick that has been embossed and has other forms of decoration. It is roughly spear shaped. At the top, there is a circular section with a diameter of 3.78mm, that leads to a thin branch 2.83mm wide. This then flairs out over a downward curving section. This section expands to 10.16mm wide, before tapering to 9.72mm and runs 4.72mm along the length of the object. Below this, another curved section …

Copper alloy possible door fitting. Cast lock escutcheon, as kindly identified by the finder, comprising a central rounded part with opposed unequal trapezoid projections with rounded outer edges, the smaller retaining a round lug of thickness 5mm on which the plate turned in a single plane. Stamped letters comprise VR below a crown imperial, repeated towards the end and at the centre of the plate. These might introduce some doubt as to the identification offered, as they would usually be expected to appear on items of government property, which in this context might imply a portable …

An incomplete copper-alloy door knocker dating to the modern period, c. 1800-1900. The object is pear shaped, with a small protruding flat base off the main body at the bottom. It may be intended to be zoomorphic, representing the head of a large bird of prey, possibly an eagle or vulture. The front has a curved surface running across the whole width that gives it depth in the middle and tampers off to the thinner side edges. The item is in poor condition and has broken at the stem which attached it to the door. The front of the knocker is plain and has a black,green,yel…
