I bought a gargoyle. It is intended to sit on the flat roof of my kitchen overlooking the right of way. There were no sizes given and I went by the photo which made it look about 18” long. It arrived yesterday. I think I have a pet gargoyle. He’s tiny and cute and not a bit scary. He needs a name and a grown up scary protector.

It's a shame you can't buy things & display them without thieves helping themselves to things unless you can cement it in?Last edited by Jungle Jane; 19-11-2017, 06:38 PM.Location : Essex -
I’m trying to jokingly annoy my nfh next door but one. This tiny gargoyle isn’t going to do it. I need the same but 4 times bigger. I’ll keep looking."I prefer rogues to imbeciles as they sometimes take a rest" (Alexander Dumas)

Gargoyle or Grotesque? A Gargoyle (same etymology as gargle) is a water spout to channel rainwater away from the the side of a building whereas a grotesque is a decorative carved figure often exaggerated in a comical way.
