Gutter spout from glory age renovated (8)

I believe the answer is:

gargoyle

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'gutter spout' is the definition.
'gargoyle' can be an answer for 'spout' (gargoyle is a kind of spout). I am unsure of the 'gutter' bit.

'glory age renovated' is the wordplay.
'renovated' is an anagram indicator.
'glory'+'age'='gloryage'
'gloryage' with letters rearranged gives 'GARGOYLE'.

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gargoyle that I've seen before include "Grotesque carved figure as ancient water-spout" , "Grotesque carved face as old rainwater spout" , "Ugly cathedral feature" , "repulsive beast" , "Ugly spouting face?" .)
