Medieval stone gargoyle

This very rare and extraordinary piece of ecclesiastical art dates back to the medieval period.

With its distorted features, the hand carved grotesque would have been created as a protector of a building.

But the carved stone garloyle also had a practical purpose as a rain water gully, funnelling rain away from a building. You can see this original purpose in the carved channel at the back of this historical artefact.

The early 19thC carved stone pedestal is available separately (Β£3500) and measures:-
Height: 1.02m (40in)
Width: 56cm (22in)
Depth: 56cm (22in)
