in northwestern England have managed to rescue some unusual medieval stone carvings that were in danger of being destroyed by the elements.
These carvings depict both real and mythical creatures, including dolphins, horses, boar, salmon, mermaids, a leopard, and St. George and the dragon, as well as religious symbols and more. The images were originally thought to have been carved by prisoners in the tower, but recent research suggests they may have been created by members of the garrison or the household, the organization said.English Heritage
