These characters are definitely three in number and probably leopards - but are they loggerheads?
They are to be found inside Morville Church in eastern Shropshire, just across from Morville Hall, the National Trust property - but no one at the church seems to know their history. The guess is that they are a little more than 300 years old.
You'll find them over the door to the tower, which is often where such 'grotesques' were placed, as a charm against outside spirits, but whether this is what these ones are up to is open to question.
Anyone got any ideas?... Use the comments field just down this page.
