The view from the road.

Very worn carvings, uncluding a three-faced one, on the south side.

More grotesques.

An interesting lintel over the priest's door.

The Arch over the South Porch. A large number of interesting small carvings circle the the arch.

Is that an owl?

An Agnus Dei or lamb of god. On the upper left is a fox playing dead. Two birds have flown down to investigate but they will be his supper.

A capricorn or winged goat.
