Gargoyles - St John the Baptist - South Croxton, Leicestershire - Gargoyles and Chimeras on Waymarking.com

52.A collection of gargoyles around Sy John's church, including one large and oddly placed gargoyle in the west wall, and another to the east.

"The church is built in the late Decorated style, of local honey-coloured Waltham ironstone and dates mainly from the early 14th century, when it replaced an earlier stone building probably from the Saxon period. However, the Romanesque font of the earlier church remains. The south aisle and the roof were built a hundred years later. The bells, cast in 1636, remain in the tower, but unhung. Extensive repairs had to be made in 1925 due to subsidence.[15] A 15th-century oak roof corbel from the church is displayed at the Charnwood Museum in Loughborough."
