PROJECT GARGOYLE

Leicestershire and village-by-village

If you notice any errors or omissions in this document – or can offer any useful information (e.g. no church or no medieval carvings inside or outside) – then please email Bob Trubshaw [email protected]

This document will be updated regularly! Always check online at https://larcproject.uk/index.php/how-to-get-involved-in-project-gargoyle/ for the latest version. This version of and Rutland village-by-village was updated 7th June 2021.

To help skim through I have greyed out churches which have been allocated or recorded, or known not to have any medieval carvings. I have also used blue to draw attention to churches which are of particular interest to Project Gargoyle – but if you want to take on a church which is neither in bold (not greyed out) then that’s fine.

Don’t forget that other people may have the same initials as you. If in doubt email Bob Trubshaw for clarification.
