Thanks for this – learned something new about drip moulds and label stops:

Hood Mould – Wiki

Where I live all the Tudor Yeoman's houses have them (South Pennines).

Who's Kentucky? Certainly not me.

As for obscure architectural water management features, they are much in use here in the Peak District

Weren't you kypd? If not then I am mistaken and apologise.

I was kypd38 for a while but it stood for Keep Your Powder Dry, nothing to do with Kentucky.

Well hopefully your armoury entrance has a dripstone which'll help keep your powder…
