Gargoyles of Cambridge, England: Our Lady and the English Martyrs

Our Lady and the English Martyrs, aka OLEM, is a beautiful Catholic church in Cambridge, England, that's covered in gargoyles. It's a Gothic Revival church built in the late 1800s, and it's one of the largest Catholic churches in the UK. I stumbled upon this church by accident when I was on tagging along on a day trip to Cambridge and had a few hours on my own to explore the city.






Look closely at the following two gargoyles and see what you might spot...

  1. These are terrific. What makes them so irresistible? is it their strangeness?

  2. What a shame the Church website has nothing to say about them. I, too, was captivated by them.
