The History of Weathervanes:
Ninth century folklore notes that weathervanes became popular due to a papal edict that a rooster, the emblem of St. Peter, top every Christian church. The marriage of these three-dimensional weather-cocks to the metal insignia banners (fanes) of the Middle Ages begot the use of weathervanes as architectural adornments. In mid-seventeenth century America, weathervanes forecasted the weather for the farmer and mariner. Colonial craftsmen created original forms of handcrafted silhouette or three dimensional weathervanes. After the Revolution, imaginative copper and tinsmiths fashioned a variety of barnyard animals or figures representing coasal life, or whatever the property owner wished to have for a weathervane form.
