I have no written sources but there are a couple of examples in Norfolk for the viewing!, A cottage in Wiveton has sheep or cattle metapoids stuck in above the window heads and a whale jawbone is inserted into a garden wall in King's Lynn, this forms a spy-hole. May be of interest?

I am thinking specifically of the use of animals bones as decorative, or non-structural elements in buildings, although anything on the subject (including whalebone houses) would be most useful.
