Just take the easy route, dig a moat put in a few gators and pirhana and you’re done!

Make sure your front wall is capable of supporting the desired cauldron volume and weight (including boiling oil). Then, apply for planning permission for said external apparatus (unless you wish to have boiling oil fumes in your house!)
A simple system of metal brackets and levers should suffice, check Jewson or B&Q for these. Make sure you use the correct masonry screws and bolts.

An oubliette is much tidier and no mess to clear up.

Don’t forget to do the risk assessment, and take precautions for working at height. You might also touch base with your insurer. After all that work, you want to make sure its covered on the house or contents insurance don’t you.

I found that shotguns work much better and the mess is always outside the gate, also when they go orff I can say, “dammed good show what”

Historical reference – such ‘murder’ holes were common in barbican entrances to outer walls in castles-
requirements:
Seasoned oak beams- 8inch sq in section 12 ft long.
Iron (or bronze if your are posh) cauldron
Hemp or Flax rope (tarred) – Chain is better.
Iron grid for fire cage.

Hope this helps
Note The Health and Safety Exec. tend to have rigorous inspections of these installations.

Pray wear a thick and robust hat always. You don’t want boiling oil pouring onto a unprotected scalp if you ever make an error when handling the security system

Tricky as the devices suggested would need to discriminate between welcome and unwelcome guests so you might also need a camera or a dog.
May 28th, 2010 at 5:11 pm
a really big, mean dog would be better, it will provide needed companionship when needed,
that way a gas pipe would not be needed to be run to keep the oil boiling, which is a major cost

If you are going to a “cauldron” size pot you will need a permit for that due to the weight. Anything less and it should be an easy diy.

Boiling oil would tend to damage your property & leave an ugly mess in your hallway. May I suggest you obtain the services of a sinister, local engineering student to convert a simple home carpet steam cleaner into an appliance useful to your whims-much neater & healthy. In regards to “banging in the basement”- if this is a servant, he is receiving free rooming from you & must be found & put to work immediatly! (docking his salary for the free time spent in your basement). If no servant is found & banging persists, Then I suggest opening your basement for tourism & board ( place a few cheap cots in basement) Example: “For a moderate price, you can tour or even seek accomondations in THE HAUNTED BASEMENT. Hey, everyone can put a few extra quid to good use.
