A small grotesque biting a bigger gargoyle, roof of Salisbury Cathedral, UK. (The Salisbury Cathedral is regarded as one of the leading examples of Early English Gothic architecture. Its main body was completed in 38 years, from 1220 to 1258).
Gargoyle chased evil spirits away. its not that the Church was secretly worshipping Lucifer as some people suggest. it's the opposite. they're not demonic but rather just serve a purpose to frighten bad souls from entering the church.
and they're pretty cool looking too.
Also reminds me of a great 1970s TV movie.. hasn't dated much. still a great film to watch
