A host of weird and wonderful items can be found at the TW Gaze auction rooms and sale meadow at Diss. Here are just a few picks from the sale meadow.

Great for metaphorical references - if you want to take up ironmongery or fancy a garden ornament with a difference this could be the purchase for you.

This rather lovely bronze bell with an iron bracket is pricey at an estimated £400-£600 but would make a lovely addition to any clock tower.

Figurines often pop up in the sale meadow, but this pair of figural head keystones look like they could tell a story or two and probably do with a lick of paint at the same time.

Have you ever wanted a stone spiral staircase? You could pick up this York Stone spiral staircase for a somewhere in the range of £2,000, although good luck getting it home.

The kitchen probably is not the place for this monumental iron Georgian pestle and mortar, but it would make a lovely feature in the herb garden.
%image(14782972, type="article-full", alt="A cast iron chatwood safe, with key. picture: SABRINA JOHNSON")
There are several safes in the TW Gaze sale meadow. This cast iron Chatwood safe is unusual in that it comes with a key, which is quite useful for a safe.

Perhaps a deer park is unfeasible, after all they do need rather a lot of space and attention but you could settle for a bronze stag, complete with antlers instead.
%image(14782974, type="article-full", alt="A portable cast iron champion blower forge . picture: SABRINA JOHNSON")
If the standalone anvil wasn't mobile enough, take your forging on the road with this cast iron champion portable forge. Although it may need a little TLC first.
%image(14782975, type="article-full", alt="A Georgian decorative hob grate. picture: SABRINA JOHNSON")
Returned to its former glory this Georgian hob grate is one of a couple of grates in the sale meadow and would be lovely feature over any fireplace or stove.
%image(14782976, type="article-full", alt="A late 19th Century weathervane depicting a hunting scene. picture SABRINA JOHNSON")
Restored by Mary Moore and Brandeston and Peggs in Aldeburgh this late 19th century weather vane depicts a fun hunting scene with the fox making a sneaky escape.
