2018 July France - UK holiday: In architecture, a gargoyle is a carved or formed grotesque with a spout designed to convey water from a roof and away from the side of a building, thereby preventing rainwater from running down masonry walls and eroding the mortar between.

Square de la Tour-Saint-Jacques - PARIS-2018-44 by Andrew Priest, on Flickr
Wikipedia reports that Saint-Jacques Tower is a monument located in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, France, on Rue de Rivoli at Rue Nicolas Flamel.
This 52-metre (171 ft) Flamboyant Gothic tower is all that remains of the former 16th-century Church of Saint-Jacques-de-la-Boucherie ("Saint James of the butchers"), which was demolished in 1797, during the French Revolution, leaving only the tower. What remains of the destroyed church of St. Jacques La Boucherie is now considered a national historic landmark.
Just rediscovered this thread. Something very strange seems to have happened to the embedded images. Many of them are clearly not the correct image (although sometimes the little thumbnail of attachments does seem correct).
Anyway, here’s one of Canterbury Cathedral (RX100).
