Dragonby dragon rock


There was a dragon that was turned to stone by a wizard, according to folklore. It's a rocky outcrop in the shape of a large dragon, found in North Lincolnshire not far from a village called Dragonby, named because of the dragon looking skeleton formation. While this has been thought to be a natural limestone rock that was revered by ancient pagans, some also think it's a ruined Dark Age church that was destroyed with people still inside and sunk into the ground. Local villagers have said they sometimes hear the eerie sounds of ghostly bells ringing at night that comes from the stone dragon. While the church story is very horrific, not everyone believes it ever happened. Many stick to the idea of the rock being a natural formation. School children prefer the legend of a wizard turning a dragon into stone and I like that story too.
