Heh, it looks a lot like the Brentford Griffin to me (if you remember that crypto-tosh from twenty-five years ago).
Incidentally, it's technically not a 'gargoyle' but a 'grotesque'. A gargoyle is a water spout that diverts water off a building's roof (usually through its mouth). |

That should read "I'd recommend" - My fingers are too fat for this keyboard! |
