Dragonlines

The Spine of Albion covers many churches local to me. One, though - St John the Baptist Shedfield - was a surprise - as a wild serpent whirls around it. The authors have dowsed the dragon trail from Titchfield to Wickham and on through Shedfield to Bishops Waltham and Winchester. ‘ Were the Victorian architects were aware of the male serpent flowing through here? They ask The bell tower is adorned with dragons.’
