Around the top of the tower are the inevitable gargoyles:

Taking photos with a camera with a decent power of zoom lens is one of few ways to get a decent view of intricate carvings which are so high up.

Don't often see any this shape.
Difficult to tell from the photo that both taper along their length:
Another day I must have a look round inside.
A very interesting post - looks a beautiful old church. Lovely to see the gargoyles too. My usual dslr has a 14-42mm standard lens and is hopeless for zooming in - must try and get in the habit of taking the bridge camera I share with my son with me on church visits! Do hope you get chance to look round the inside - would love to see more of the church :)
ReplyDeleteRR: The Nikon S9050 (now sadly discontinued) is a great little pocket camera. Zoom range 4.5 - 69.8mm, excellent optics and the 12M pixels good enough to make decent crops.
DeleteIt is certainly a magnificent structure - and I too would love to see photos from inside sometime if it is possible.
