Welcome to the church

If churches are supposed to be welcoming, why do the put gargoyles on them?
Taken at Woburn church
I seriously like this fella!

He looks like a grotesque rather than a gargoyle. Gargoyles are usually a means of draining water from a roof.Grotesques are decorative. Why they have to be so ugly though I don’t know. This fella looks rather large!

@carole_sandford thanks for the information. It's difficult to say with nothing to compare it to but my guess would be around 3 mtrs tall
