Legend of Gargouille and the origin of gargoyles.
The Gargouille (Garguiem) was allegedly a water-spouting dragon
which appeared in the Seine River. Saint Romain the archbishop of Rouen,
lured the monster to shore into town where it was slaughtered.

Some accounts said it was burned.

The accounts of burning said that neither the monster's head
nor its neck would burn, so they were mounted on the town's cathedral.

The creature was then said to have been carved onto buildings
to be used as a water drainage, therefore creating the modern gargoyle.

when they moved them from a church in france; within 7 days; the church almost burned to the ground; i think my 26th great grandfather was involved in the original building of that church
