Title | Dormington Church, Herefordshire, closing ring |
---|---|
Description | Black and white photograph of the closing ring on a doorway at Dormington church, Herefordshire. The bronze door knocker is unique among European knockers in style and type, consisting of the head of a feline beast with large eyes and a ring through its mouth. It has affinities to the grotesque work at Kilpeck and elsewhere in the area. The original is kept in Hereford Cathedral Treasury for safe keeping; there is a replica on the church door. |
