A Gargoyle is defined as a spout projecting from a roof gutter. The name is derived from the French "gargouille" and the Latin "gurgulio", both meaning throat. They are carvings on the outside of buildings designed to direct water from the roof away from the base of the walls. Some Gargoyles are decorated often very imaginatively and/or grotesque Gargoyles can be seen adorning the architecture of most cities and towns in the UK. Our  designs include the famous Oxford Gargoyles from the college buildings of Oxford.
