Dragon legend

There is a legend that on 26 September 1449 a fight between two dragons took place on a meadow by the River Stour. One dragon was black and came from Kedington Hill, Suffolk, the other was red and came from Ballingdon Hill, Essex. After an hour's fighting the red dragon won, and both went back to their hills. The site of the mythical battle is known locally as Sharpfight Meadow.^[6]
