Description
One of three photographs of domestic roof-top adornments (although the house is now a medical practice) in Lyttleton Street, East Launceston. This one features one of the most popular and enduring images of the medieval period, the winged dragon. Situated on the edge of the roof and looking down towards the street, it is possible that the dragon was in part inspired by the gargoyles that adorn many medieval gothic churches.
