Gargoyles vs Grotesques

I can always remember the first one. But NEVER the name of the second. Smack on head!

Although I do know the difference between them. ‘Cos me and youngest son had a bit of a tiff about this very subject a while back.

P.S. Most annoying offspring sentence….”Mother. Don’t you know the difference? Check it out on the internet.”

Go Figure :o(

Fascinating gargoyles and grotesques around the world

 

Wiki : Gargoyles

 

P.P.S. The image above is a grotesque on Lincoln Cathedral. It doesn’t spout water???
