Grotesque

I've been watching "Put your money where your mouth is" over the past few weeks, and have really liked some of the things they've found in reclamation yards, so I had a quick look around our local yard this morning. This chap was made for Wells Cathedral but for some reason was never installed. My sister would adore it - she is president of the Church Monuments Society - but at £450 she isn't going to get it from me!

Edit: I thought he was a gargoyle but arroset told me that he's a grotesque - thanks, arroset.

Many thanks for all the advice on yesterday's falsely fiery sunrise - now I know what to try next time.
