Gargoyles at Radnor Street Cemetery, Swindon, Wiltshire



These figures carved in stone are on the tower of the chapel and around it's roof line.  We can see some are gargoyles but others appear to have no pipe for dispersing water, so we gather are technically called grotesques.  Whatever their name, these are lovely examples.
