I have looked at many dozens of fonts at many online sites and have
not found one that has the 'tails' on the capitals, the bulbous 'U',
the straight sides on the 'W' and the backslash at the end stroke of
the 'h' that are all in the same set.

The letters are on a church sign that is at least 25, and may be up to
45 years old. I would certainly appreciate any help you can give me. I

This is in a family of fonts called Black Letter. Except for the W, it
is very similar to Cloister Black Light. The W resembles English
Gothic, but too many of the other letters are definitely NOT English
Gothic. There is some similarity to Wedding Text and Old English
Regular. All of these seem to use the same lower-case letters.

I suspect that the sample was either hand-scribed or else hand type-set
from a mixed set of fonts.

Donald Trump claims everyone likes him. Does that
include his ex-wives? How about the students who
discovered that their education at Trump University
was worthless? And how about the contractors,
suppliers, and employees he stiffed in his several
bankruptcies?

Actually, it looks remarkably like the 'Old English' that Letraset used
to have, back in the day.

Try the font Blackwood Castle font.

Not even vaguely close.

Without actually hunting through the foundry catalogues, the nearest I
can come in a modern free typeface is in the Hershey fonts (http://coopertype.org/event/the_hershey_fonts). The problem is that
those fonts were written in a now-obsolete vector language.

Fortunately, his Old English font was at some stage translated into
METAFONT (http://www.tug.dk/FontCatalogue/hersheyoldenglishfont/) so it
can be used with LaTeX (see ny reconstruction of the original at http://latex.silmaril.ie/examples/oldbeeg-font-letters.jpg).

But it's not the same font, merely a related family, and the spacing is
poor. I haven't looked through some of the older sources, like the
BitStream 500-Font CD-ROM but there were certainly a couple of "Old
English" fonts on there.
