Well I think this is a stone carved cow, and so hopefully eligible for #farmyardfavourites during today's #AnimalsInChurchesHour. St Cyriac's Church, Lacock.

More like a #StingInTheTail than a #ALikelyTail. Stone carved scorpion, the personal emblem of Wm Sharington, by a doorway in Lacock Abbey.

More senseless dragon-slaying here, this one recorded on an original misericord from 1335 in Wells Cathedral. No wonder we have so few #FantasticalBeasts left!

Although I posted this photo a while ago for #AnimalsInChurchesAnimalsInChurchesHour" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link">#AnimalsInChurchesHour, I think it deserves another outing. The fabulous etched glass Narnia window in Holy Trinity Church Headington Quarry, Oxford.

On St Catherine's Feast Day, this old worn statue of her in the Cloisters of #Plasencia Cathedral may be of interest to some #AnimalsInChurchesHour aficionados...

Late as usual to join #AnimalsInChurchesHour, but let's start with this pair of classics from the facade of Salamanca Cathedral. The spaceman, and a mythical beast with a double scoop ice cream. 🙂 #HumourInChurches

Well this is one of the #StoriesInChurches that I definitely didn't hear about at Sunday School!
...His master [Potiphar]'s wife said to Joseph "Lie with me" but he refused...

Well I'm not sure what they are, but I *think* the figures on these corbels in the Basilica of Guadalupe, Extremadura, Spain are playing musical instruments. Sadly another place with low lighting where photography is actively discouraged. #TheSoundOfMusic #AnimalsInChurchesHour
