'Sanctuary' Linocut Print

This ferocious looking door knocker from Durham Cathedral is a historic symbol of sanctuary - in Medieval times, criminals and ne'er do wells could seek an escape from the law by grasping the ring of the door knocker on the North door of the cathedral and be sheltered by the monks for 37 days, to either repent or plan their escape!
By the way, the right of sanctuary was abolished in 1624...
