The Brinsop Dragon
Brinsop, Herefordshire
Brinsop claims that St George killed the dragon right here, in a field called Lower Stanks, and that it lived in a pool called Dragon's Well. The little church of St George has a Norman carving over the door showing the saint on horseback spearing the dragon.
