XXI. READING DESK, ALNWICK CHURCH.

Here a charming unity of effect is given by the use of a simple form, the piercing of the sheet iron desk being a simple arrangement of intersecting circles. Essays in the direction of similar wrought-iron lecterns, combined with leather work, would be a happy change from the usual brazen bird from Birmingham.

XXII. HOURGLASS BRACKET, SOUTH STOKE CHURCH, OXFORDSHIRE.

The absence of the forged straps referred to in No. xviii. has a feeble effect; it looks as if the scrolls had been glued on.

XXIII. HINGE-STRAPS ON WEST DOOR, LEIGHTON BUZZARD CHURCH, BEDFORD-

SHIRE.

XXIV. HINGE-STRAP ON SOUTH DOOR OF CHURCH, HOUGH ON THE HILL, LIN-

COLNSHIRE.

XXV. HINGE-STRAP, CHACOMBE CHURCH, NORTHAMPTONSHIRE. XXVI. HINGE-STRAP, SOWERBY CHURCH, YORKSHIRE. XXVII. HINGE, GLASSES, SOMERSET. XXVIII. DOOR-STRAP, SOWERBY CHURCH, YORKSHIRE.

XXIX. HINGE, BOUGHTON MALHERBE, KENT. Familiar Cock pattern.

XXX. KNOCKER, STOCKBURY VICARAGE, KENT. XXXI. KNOCKER AND ROSE OF HANDLE, ANGEL INN, LACOCK, WILTSHIRE.

XXXII. KNOCKER, KIRKBRIDGE, STANWICK, YORKSHIRE.

Obviously the staple which now attaches the knocker to the door is a recent makeshift; the original back plate with two eyes, in which worked the two ends of the crosspiece, has disappeared.

XXXIII. HANDLE FOR LATCH, ATHELSTANE ABBEY, YORKSHIRE.

Hardly a pattern for imitation, the slightness of the grip not being very grateful to the hand. This type, without back plate, is often called a Suffolk latch.

XXXIV. NORFOLK LATCH, WOKEY, SOMERSET.

XXXV. IRON Box IN THE POSSESSION OF THE HON. ELIZABETH CUST.

The treatment is so rich as almost to suggest French or Flemish work.

XXXVI. LOCK AND HASP OF IRON Box.

XXXVII. CHEST WITH IRON FITTINGS, NORTHFLEET CHURCH, KENT.

Probably for vestments. Note the eminently practical arrangement of the handles. When raised, the loose rings stand above the top of the box.
