jo anne,

Have you ever seen 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show'?
The original film, that is. Not the stage production, or the remake.

The location in the film, Oakley Court, did have some of the things you describe, ie whole beast stone gryphons, which were visible in the film, though I think they were sort of balustrade ornamentation rather than part of the building walls.

I do not know if they would still be called grotesques though, and I think they have now been removed since the building has been repurposed to be a hotel.

It also featured in a lot of Hammer Horror productions, but I cannot recall seeing said figures in their productions.
