Hunt on for 1.5-ton gargoyles missing from church

WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) - Church officials and preservationists are trying to figure out what happened to several 1.5-ton gargoyles from a Massachusetts church.

The church in Worcester is a one-fifth scale replica of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. It was built in the 1890s and was formerly known as the Chestnut Street Congregational Church.

The crumbling building was slated for demolition a decade ago but was saved with the help of Preservation Worcester.
