The embattled south porch. Everywhere you look are pinnacles, crocketing, and embellished architectural elements |
A close look at the tower and battlements of the south porch |
Above the south porch is this large and impressive sundial |
A view of the south porch from the east |
There is an extraordinarily rich collection of grotesques adorning the tower and roofline of the nave and chancel |
Another happy little grotesque carving on the south front |
Another of the grotesques. |
Not all 'grotesques' are grotesque! This delightful carving used a wndow stop looks very content with life. |
Happy? Maybe not. The variety of expressions on the grotesques is quite wonderful to behold. |
A very cheery window stop carving |
Carved face used as a springer for the south porch vaulting |
