According to lore, the ‘one serpent’ was a dragon that hailed from the nearby village of Barkway, and terrorised the people of Brent Pelham. Nominated to handle the problem, the lord of the manor of Pelham (and, as the story goes, anything up to 23-feet tall) set out with his hunting dogs to slay the beast at its lair under a yew tree. The battle was long and bloody but finally the serpent lay at the knight’s feet.

Reports of the noise became so frequent that in January 2009 the local East Herts Herald sent a camera crew and journalist to investigate. Imguessing that we dont takeinto consideration that this place held a lotof significance for many people .
