These small sculptures carved out of Sydney sandstone adorn the walls beside the stained glass windows. Each forms a natural end to the decorative sandstone border surmounting the top of each window.

Bristol - St Mary Redcliffe church.
Wills (Memorial) Tower - built by the sons in memory of their father, the first Bristol Uni Chancellor, Henry Overton Wills - it houses the Faculty of Law and the Department of Earth Sciences, as well as the Law and Earth Sciences libraries. Started in 1915, the WWI put it on hold and it was opened in 1925; said to be the last Gothic building erected in England. It is quite a landmark, esp high up on Park St! The Wills were tobacco magnates who had Europe's largest factory in the City; an amalgamation of several UK tobacco companies became Imperial Tobacco, and the HQ is located in the City.

The settlement Likhachev no longer exists.
Closed in 1930s, and subsequently all but destroyed. The lack of debris suggests that the church building may have been cannibalized for its building materials.
Interestingly, this church has its own ru wikipedia page: ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Церковь_Николая_Чу

Village Podzhigorodovo, Klin Raion, Moscow Oblast, Russia
The church was built in 1778-1783 by two brothers Yurevyh, local noblemen who had a large manor here. It's believed that the architect was the famous Russian architect Vasily Bazhenov. Unusual two-story church with the winter church on the first floor and the summer church on the second floor. The exterior was plastered and whitewashed in 1906.
The last owner of the Podzhigorodovo manor was nobleman Vladimir Sokolov. He was a revolutionary and his party nickname was Volsky. Vladimir Lenin visited Sokolov before the 1917 revolution. There's a photo of Lenin playing chess with Sokolov in his Podzhigorodovo manor house.
Olga remembers climbing the bell tower as a child. The church was used then to store chemical fertilizer. She still recalls the smell of the fertilizer and the treacherous circular staircase.
The church was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1992. Services are presently held in the first floor winter church. The second floor summer church has not been restored. Like many rural churches in Russia, the Church of Archangel Michael is undergoing slow restoration and still dominates the surrounding landscape.
