The 700-year-old church carving at has become something of a star since its resemblance to the US President was spotted.
And describing it as 'grotesque' is entirely right, because that's exactly what it is, rather than a gargoyle.
A grotesque describes this type of carving in general, whereas a gargoyle specifically means something with a water spout designed to take rainwater away from a roof, the Nottingham Post explains .
The grotesque was spotted - and tweeted - before Mr Trump became President last year, by writer and broadcaster Samira Ahmed, who was on a mini-break with her family at the time and stopped to visit Southwell Minster in Nottinghamshire.
