Trivia about Gargoyles
An excellent example of this are the 39 remaining lion-headed water spouts on the Temple of Zeus.
Originally, it had 102 gargoyles or spouts, but due to the heavy weight (they were crafted from marble), many snapped off and had to be replaced.
According to French architect and author Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, himself one of the great producers of gargoyles in the 19th century, the earliest known medieval gargoyles appear on Laon Cathedral (c. 1200–1220).
One of the more famous examples is the gargoyles of Notre-Dame de Paris, which dons 54 chimeras crowded around the railings of the cathedral that came to be in the 1843 restoration project.
From that time, more and more buildings used drainpipes to carry the water from the guttering roof to the ground and only very few buildings using gargoyles were constructed.
The London Building Act 1724 (11 Geo. 1. c. 28), passed by the Parliament of Great Britain made the use of downpipes compulsory in all new construction.
