Damage was sustained to a carved gargoyle head resulting in a lateral break of the stone from ear to ear. With great care, the gargoyle was expertly repaired with very little evidence of the damage
The main difference between gargoyles and grotesques is that gargoyles contain a water spout through the mouth, whereas grotesques do not.
