Grotesque carved statues

Here are some rather good grotesque carved statues and I really like them!
They are on some gateposts in Thrupp north of Oxford.
Are they gargoyles?
Not really.....................
A gargoyle is a carved spout designed to convey rain water from a roof and away from the side of a building.
