Walking locally, I looked up instead of ahead or on the ground. There is an interesting looking old coach house that is fenced off. The top windows and above are visible. Up on the roof tops I could see figures strategically placed around the building. The figures are gargoyles.
These photos are not very clear because they have been enlarged with my camera phone. In my original photos you could hardly make out what they are!
Weird as they are - I love them! They're not just pretty faces you know but served a practical purpose. They act as rain water spouts to divert water away from the building and prevent the mortar from degrading upon prolonged exposure to water. Do you have any gargoyles on building near you? If so I would love to see them.
