Gargoyles – Glorious Gruesome Grotesques

By Queuebot in Architecture, Pictures on Feb 6, 2010 at 6:10 pm

Is it true that most people are introduced to gargoyles through a certain Disney film these days?  If so, then perhaps a trip through the various types of gargoyle may not go amiss.  Each one has a message to deliver and while that may be getting mislaid over the course of the centuries, the truth is still out there (as it were).

Gargoyles – they can be strange, bizarre, unpleasant or just plain ugly. They have been hovering around our towns and cities for centuries, for so long that it can be forgotten that they have meaning and purpose. Take a tour of the weird world of the gargoyle.

    Why is this being hailed as a well-written piece?
    “Our nearest relatives were seen as what happens to us when nature goes wrong. Often associated with stupidity they were, however, mostly associated with cunning and lazy.”

    Had a look, and I must agree. It’s a poorly-written article.
