Dearest St Margaret of Antioch
Please could I ask that you watch where you're putting your feet.....it seems that it may not have come to your attention, but you're squashing a dragon!
Yours sincerely

It is a little peculiar what you see depicted in stained glass windows if you take the time to stop and stare. The story behind this is, following various punishments after she refused to marry, Margaret was swallowed by Satan disguised as a dragon, but was coughed up whole and unharmed. The Saint gives her name to the parish church of Warnham in West Sussex. We spent a pleasurable hour or so exploring the village on Sunday. More details tomorrow.
