This tympanum is over the door at St Michael and All Angels.
Maybe
we're more likely to think that modern dragons have four legs. But all
the ones my sister and I have come across seem to be the two legged,
long-tailed variety. I'm guessing Welsh dragons and English dragons are
actually different species. Here's a dragon getting abused by a
sword-wielding St Michael (in his skirt). I say leave the poor creature
alone. The carving is quite green with algae, but I don't think that
detracts from its niceness. |
