In reply to J Carter. Thanks J, it's a fascinating article. The story has some similarities to other dragon slaying legends, like the Lambton Worm and the Sussex 'knucker' tales.

I’m a resident of Slingsby, but have to say that this story, from just a few miles away in Nunnington, is the better known.

The local Dragon story in my area is connected to the Bold family and an area around Runcorn and Widnes called the Halton Dragon !
I also came across several Nixen storys on the Isle of Man and visted one located in Glen Roy in a pool under a waterfall !

In reply to Alicia. Hi, Alicia. I didn't know dragons were so connected to water before I wrote this article. Dragons and serpents are of great psychological importance, which is why they appear in almost every system of myth. It would be interesting to know if there are any other dragon slayers' graves in England or in other parts of the world. Many thanks for reading the post.

An extense and well documented article. I particularly like the psychological point of view and what the dragon signifies. I’ve always felt there isn’t enough information about them, so articles like this give light to interesting investigations.
