QUIRKY INFORMATION

 

Face door knocker on a Red door in Harlech.

As early as the 16th century door knockers

adorned peoples homes. As people got wealthier the more elaborate they became.

Thought to originate from the hand of Fatima [ a palm shaped amulet ] - used to protect against evil.

The most powerful now is a Lion's head for people living in Great Britain.

[ look at No 10 ] !!!!

But the history of door knockers goes back several thousand years

in Ancient Greece.

They were a bit picky about unannounced visits!!!

Where Spartans simply shouted out their visits the Athenians preferred to use a Door Knocker!!!.
