Sign for the Green Dragon, Alderbury
Although the Dragon slain by St George was actually green (but perhaps it became more red as the battle progressed!) a Green Dragon on its own is actually an Heraldic symbol. This symbol has Welsh origin, and represented loyalty to the Earls of Pembroke. Heraldically, the Green Dragon is more welsh than the Red Dragon, which appears on the principality's flag.

Ivechurch farm and remains of priory
This is the exact title from the OS 1:25000 map. The ridge in the field does not permit a better view of the priory (Augustinian) remains from the road.
