La gargouille
Il faut différencier les gargouilles des chimères, qui elles n'ont pas de fonction de dégorgement et ornent généralement les pinacles et les contreforts.
Une gargouille est par ailleurs une créature légendaire, dragon vaincu par saint Romain, évêque de Rouen

The Mary Barbour statue in Glasgow is a tribute to a remarkable woman who played a pivotal role in the 1915 rent strikes. Located at Govan Cross, the statue was unveiled on March 8, 2018, coinciding with International Women's Day. Mary Barbour led "Mrs. Barbour's Army," a group of women who protested against landlords exploiting wartime poverty by raising rents. Their efforts led to the Rent Restriction Act of 1915.
The statue, created by sculptor Andrew Brown, depicts Barbour leading her "army" and serves as a reminder of her contributions to social justice and housing reform. She was also one of Glasgow's first female councillors and a champion for maternity benefits, education, and equal voting rights.
Mary Barbour was born on February 20, 1875, in Kilbarchan, a village in Renfrewshire, Scotland. She grew up in a working-class family, with her father being a handloom carpet weaver. Her early life in Kilbarchan and later in Elderslie shaped her understanding of the struggles faced by working-class communities, which influenced her activism later in life.

The Statue of Liberty is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor in New York City, in the United States. The copper statue, designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, a French sculptor, was built by Gustave Eiffel and dedicated on October 28, 1886. It was a gift to the United States from the people of France. The statue is of a robed female figure representing Libertas, the Roman goddess, who bears a torch and a tabula ansata (a tablet evoking the law) upon which is inscribed the date of the American Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776. A broken chain lies at her feet. The statue is an icon of freedom and of the United States, and was a welcoming sight to immigrants arriving from abroad. (Source: Wikipedia).

As for Clough, an eccentric genius who could get quite ordinary players to play like world beaters but he did it because of the eye for footballing talent in his assistant Peter Taylor. A film about him 'The Damned United' is an insight into the often controversial man who put both Derby County and Nottingham Forest Football Clubs on the map.
