Lambton Worm: England’s Dragon Curse That Would Not Die

A young heir skipped church, cast his line into the River Wear, and pulled something from the water that England never forgot. On a Sunday morning in medieval County Durham, John Lambton made a decision that would change the course of one of England’s most enduring dragon legends. What followed was a terrifying story of a serpent-like worm, a cursed family, a ruined valley, and a vow that turned victory into something darker.
