Description
Angles : Commune de Vendée, France
Modillon :
Petit bloc de pierre, sculpté de façon fine ou grossière, il diffère selon la nature des matériaux à la disposition du sculpteur et sa disposition. Les différences dans la nature du sol ont influencé, tout à la fois, les paysages et l'art de bâtir. Le matériau a joué sur la forme et la structure des églises romanes. Les roches dures (granitiques ou volcaniques) engendrent une architecture sévère de formes et de couleur. Ces matériaux résistants se prêtent beaucoup moins que le calcaire aux riches ornementations finement ciselées. Les historiens de l'art distinguent les modillons rampants, perpendiculaires au tracé de l'élément architectural qu'ils soutiennent, ou, plus rarement, des modillons d'aplomb, c'est-à-dire verticaux

Modillion :
A small block of stone, carved in a fine or coarse way, it differs according to the nature of the materials at the sculptor's disposal and its arrangement. Differences in the nature of the soil have influenced both the landscape and the art of building. The material played on the shape and structure of Romanesque churches. Hard rocks (granitic or volcanic) produce a severe architecture of shapes and colour. These resistant materials are much less suitable than limestone for rich, finely carved ornaments. Art historians distinguish between creeping modillions, perpendicular to the layout of the architectural element they support, or, more rarely, plumbing modillions, i. e. vertical

Interesting upload, as you say the local geology of the land has big impact on building materials. Its very noticeable driving from England into Scotland which is also an ancient continental boundary with very different rock types.

Belle curiosité. L'art médiéval a de ces surprises.
