Of Griffins and the creatures of story

While walking around Coombe Abbey the other day I came across the two Griffin from John Leach and the Devil, a Huntingdonshire/Cambridgeshire story.


There they were frozen to stone and looking lovely, the stone nicely coloured with age and blobs of lichen on them.


Suitably reminded of a story and thinking of mythological creatures I wandered on along a yew hedge to a gatepost only clear because the hedge has been cut, its partner was still completely  clothed in yew. Thing is what creature is it, I am thinking Dragon  it had four legs and wings although the scaling was quite large, mouth was almost fish like but could be artistic license I suppose. Not completely sure, anyone got any other ideas..........
