Interesting gargoyles and cemetery stones.
Paul Best of Tetbury, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom, who I have known for years, recently in starting in May 2013 been taking trips to places in Tetbury and Cirencester and most of the surrounding villages to take pictures of the old places there.
They include pubs, churches, cemeteries, war memorials, and other interesting and old things in these towns. He posted some on his own Facebook page and mostly on the Gloucestershire Social History page on Facebook.
