Gargoyles on the bell tower of All Saints' church, Rampton.

"Parish Church C12, C14 and C15. C19 and C20 restorations. Puddingstone and limestone rubble with some fieldstone and limestone and clunch dressings. Red brick south porch. Reed thatched roof to nave, slate to South aisle and tiles to chancel. Plan of West tower, nave South aisle, South porch and chancel. West tower is probably C15, but the pointed lancets suggest a possible earlier date. Mostly limestone rubble with dressed limestone to the quoins. Three stages on chamfered plinth, embattled parapet. West window of clunch, repaired with Ketton, hollow moulded two cinquefoil lights in two centred arch. Lancet to each side of second stage. The clunch openings, with cinquefoil heads to each side of bell stage are very badly worn. Beast gargoyle masks to centre of each side of main cornice."
