Grotesques

At least I think that’s what they are called. There are lots of these amusing/disturbing sculptures on the outside of ‘St Martins in the Bullring’

Intriguing characters and a great shot, Lesley! This works really well in b/w! Fav

[Phil Howcroft]

they are very scary Lesley , I will move on quickly !!!

[Larry Steager]

Great shot and find. I love the faces.

[John Falconer]

I think you might be tight about “grotesques”. Great shot.

[Dorothy]

I especially like the one on the left…..speak no evil.

[Corinne C]

Great detailed captured.

[Ellen Bogenschutz]

They're the Selfies of the last centuries....maybe the workers of the building.

[Diana]

Fabulous find and capture with great stonework and detail. I love the one on the left!

[Babs]

Someone is trying to shut up the one on the left.

[Kathy A]

They are wonderful

[Issi Bannerman]

Quite fascinating.

[Brian]

Well spotted and captured.

[Susan Wakely]

Lovely detail but they ain’t pretty.

[Kathryn M]

I bet not many people really look at them. Good spot and capture.

[Pat]

Ah so that’s what they’re called! A great spot and capture of these characters. I must have walked past these so often and never noticed them so you’ve given me a new thing to look for on churches.

Nice pic!

[Beverley]

They are amusing to see…

[Carole Sandford]

Nice capture & yes I think they are grotesques. Gargoyles are decorated water spouts that protrude from a roof & keep water away from the walls of a building, protecting it from damage.
