Grotesque Gurning

One the many Grotesques to be found in the Chapter House of York Minster. There are hundreds of them in the building, some humorous, such as this one, some of animals, mythological creatures, and some have their roots in Paganism, for instance, several carvings of the Green Man.
All of them are little more than a few inches in size, and every one is different. New ones are being made for another part of the Minster, which are about 50cm in height and show the skill of the craftsmen who carve them. I'm intrigued to know where they are going to put the one of the man who is mooning.
