Here are the areas I divided the gargoyles into:

Back Lady Chapel = er, well, the back of the Lady Chapel, a few on the corners.
Back Right Lady Chapel = the back corner of the Lady Chapel and along the right hand side of it. It's here that I realised the enormity of the task of photographing everything, and had to sit down for a while, a pleasant grassy spot.
Back Left = Back left hand side of the main cathedral building i.e. north of the choir and altar inside. Loads of big ones on towers, walls, buttresses, everywhere. I ran out of film for the big lens.

Gargoyles to eat your heart out!

Er, sorry about the washing out of colours again, trying to compensate for the darkness, many were in shadow.
