Description: | A complete cast copper alloy barrel tap of late post-medieval to modern date. The barrel tap has a circular sectioned spigot which tapers towards the end for fitting into the barrel on which are fine longitudinal striations. From the striations the tap expands into two opposing threaded trunnions preceding the spout. The spout is also circular in section and curves downwards to allow the flow of liquid. A rectangular sectioned projection extends from the outer curve of the spout. The rectangular tap handle has the following stamped details "PARRY & JACKSON LONDON & PARIS" on one side & "PROVED TO 300lbs" on the other. The metal has a light brownish-green patina and survives in good condition. The barrel tap is 155mm long, 125mm in height , 27mm thick and weighs 425.4g.
