Rare 13th Century Medieval English Oak Door
About the Item
A substantially constructed, heavy medieval era English oak door possibly dating from as early as the 13th century. This 800-year-old door is a rare find and originates from Leominster – perhaps it once stood as an entrance into the halls of the historic Grade I listed Croft Castle (first recorded in the Domesday book in 1085) or the 13th century Leominster Priory which was originally part of a medieval Benedictine priory.
Offering a glimpse into historic England, this handcrafted medieval oak door is steeped in history. It features vertical plank construction to both sides, forming into a distinctive arch at the top, with original hardware throughout including a hinged iron armoured peephole, decorative strap hinges, parts of the original lock mechanism (no key) and iron studding. There is an original old oak finish to one side and a lime wash to the other.
Centuries old, this antique oak door is a rare find, having survived wear and use across the ages. Instilled with age, one can only imagine the purpose of this door at the time of its construction...
