English Cathedrals - Knocker, Durham Cathedral - Fabulous Monster door Knocker. Part of Box 144 Boswell Collection - English Cathedrals. The Sanctuary Knocker or hagoday is an ornamental knocker on the door of a cathedral. Under medieval English common law, these instruments supposedly afforded the right of asylum to anybody who touched them. Examples of Sanctuary Knockers can be found on Durham Cathedral, ( the St. Nicholas church in Gloucester and the Church of the Holy Trinity, Stratford-upon-Avon). By 1623, the laws permitting church sanctuary had been overturned by parliament. Date: circa 1900
