In the headline and the article the reporter uses quotation marks around 'irreplaceable' - presumably because he doesn't believe the 'gargoyles' are irreplaceable. So I wonder why he uses the word at all? I have also used quotation marks around 'gargoyles' because, of course, the dragons were not gargoyles at all but finials. If the owners want to replace them they could consider: http://www.rooffinials.co.uk/dragon-finial...gon-finial.html If a more accurate replacement is wanted I am sure they could find a potter who would make some to the original design (picture below).
