Trojan:
I was wondering what the gargoyles (if they are gargoyles) on Trinity Church represent? One looks like the head of a King, and another the head of a female.

I found this explanation which relates to the grotesque gargoyles in the bottom photo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gargoyle

Any ideas or info welcome.

Ian:
Stan might have some knowledge of those.

Bellringer:
It's one of those things I have kept meaning to look into but never quite got round to it. Perhaps this is the prompt I needed.

I will see what I can do.

Llechwedd:
Maybe they are just bog standard gargoyles i.e. no one in particular.  There's one on St. D ;David's cathedral the dead spit of Harold Wilson! ;D

DaveR:
I photographed this one in the Marble Church in Bodelwyddan, great piece of work:
