You're in for a great trip!

My wife & I took 3 weeks a few years back & toured England. In answer to your
question:  most of the castles & cathedrals have wonderful examples of
ornamental smithing; many, many fences exist in terrific condition; and of
course there's more arms & armor than you can shake a stick at.

  But, the first don't miss it is The Ironbridge Forge Museum.  This is the
Disneyland of blacksmithing & iron work.  It contains many restored buildings
from the birth of the iron/steel industry in England - including the first
iron bridge!  It also has one of the four working furnaces which produce
genuine wrought iron.  Its an all day thing.

If you'd like more specific info, please let me know.

Have fun!
