Road in Sandbach named after local legend and folklore

By Deborah Bowyer   20th Apr 2023

Moston Lane is named after the famous Moston dragon.
Moston Lane is named after the famous Moston dragon.

A Sandbach church recreated the fascinating tale of a legendary Welsh dragon to help raise funds.

And this legendary tale is the reason why we have a road in Moston called Dragons Lane.

Members of Elworth Methodist Church held a three-day dragon event based on the story of the Moston dragon.

Rumour has it that the story of St George & The Dragon and the poem 'The Dragon Of Moston' is based on the dragon.

The church created a dragon display telling the story as well as offering a dragon quiz and even a special menu with red dragon soup.

Lay leader, Jean Ellershaw (pictured below) said: "We have some very talented members of the congregation who have come up with all sorts of ideas.

"The display was a combination of everyone's work and we're delighted with how it's turned out.

"We try and do things which are a little bit different and this has really worked. We've even got dragon fruit!"

A giant red dragon greeted visitors to the display while a church hall was full of dragons of every description.
