Cambridge: gargoyles and scholars

L is off to the Anglia Ruskin in September, so we went to sort out accommodation and explore, while she was doing the business bits I went on a gargoyle hunt, a good trawl with many more to find in the next eighteen months. The Catholic Church of Our Lady and the English Martyrs is close to the station and a wonderful introduction. The church itself is beautiful, crawling with wonderful creatures.Like many others I found them irresistible.

Mouth pullers are common, to scare the evil, but pulling someone else's mouth most unusual.

Reptile-dragon in form, but surely puppy in nature.

Has he seen the evil the mouth-puller failed to scare?

A caricature of the boss?

                         Many of the colleges have a fine collection of gargoyles, here St John's. (1511) The baby one is trying to suckle from Mum's elbow, like a human on a finger.

And finally, new scholars?
