As it's St George's Day today, I thought I'd post one of my favourite sculptures of Saint George fighting a dragon. It's from the University of Glasgow Memorial Chapel and was ceated in the 1920. I love the rather worried look the sculptor, Archibald Dawson, has given St George as the dragon bites into his shield!

On passing the Mossmans' statue of St George and the Dragon at St George's Cross in Glasgow yesterday, I noticed he seemed to have finally got his lance back. Closer examination, however, revealed someone has just armed him with a broom handle. Not much use when you're up against a dragon, and a rather shoddy repair job.

It's great to see that Charles Grassby's 1897 statue of Saint George and the Dragon at Saint George Cross in Glasgow has been cleaned and is now looking more spectacular than ever.

Saint George Slaying the Dragon (2024) 🗡️

A sort-of sequel to a recent piece, upping the stakes this time

George and the Dragon, Saint George's Cross Glasgow.

Sculpted by C.B. Grassby for J and G Mossman in 1897, it originally adorned the St George's Cross Cooperative Society building. When the building was demolished in the 1980s, the statue was saved and donated to the people of Glasgow. Somewhere along the way, Saint George has lost his lance.
