, specifically John. Except that there are (apparently) four of them - in statue form - in one place.
So how to write that?
Statues of four Saints John? saints John? Saint Johns? Saints Johns??
I should point out that they were all different saints who just happened to share the same name (St. John the Evang., St. John Chrysostom, St. John Nepomucen and St. John Cantius)
And I have a mental blackout but is "tall" or "high" more correct in these contexts?:
at 60m tall/high at its highest point, St. John's Church is the tallest/highest building in the city.
Oh and if I don't respond it's because I'm going to be away for a couple of days
