Penshaw Monument, a 70ft high, half size replica of the temple of Theseum in Athens. The monument was erected in Honour of John George Lambton the first Earl of Durham. The hill is also associated with the Legend of the Lambton Worm, which is said to have wrapped its tail seven times around Penshaw Hill. ( google it). This is a good starting point for a pleasant 8 mile walk : #sketch #sketchoftheday #penandink #watercolour #penshawmonument #lambtonworm https://www.instagram.com/p/BqQA5o0AFPm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hlava3fna34f

“A delightful folly this, isn’t it? A copy of the Temple of Hephaestus in Athens. You could say this hill has always been a location for… Great Works. The earls and noblemen of the time would play at magick and midnight ritual in cults most unspeakable. Believing eldritch spirits would grant them power and riches. Ignorant of the truth that lies beneath all our deceptions.”

An icon of my childhood, Penshaw Monument near Sunderland was the inspiration for my first published short story, ‘The Womb of the Wyrm’. A Lovecraftian retelling of the local legend of the Lambton Worm, writing the story offered chance to study how mythology may be shaped by the darker aspects of the psyche.

As the protagonist ascended the hill in the story, I too ascend to reflect on my formative years and the stories which shaped me. It is rare to return to the homeland, and I am grateful for this opportunity to visit.

‘Womb of the Wyrm’ is featured in the occult horror anthology 'By the Bonfire’, published by Equinox eBooks International.

Lambton Worm #LambtonWorm In recent times, the story has been kept alive through a song - 'The Lambton Worm'. This was originally written in 1867 by C.M. Leumane, for a pantomime to be performed at the Tyne Theatre in Newcastle upon Tyne.  Another reminder of the story is the Penshaw Monument, a Temple like building which stands high on Penshaw Hill. It is visible for miles around. It was built in 1844 by Thomas Pratt in memory of John George Lambton, 1st Earl of Durham. In some versions of the story, it is this hill that the worm curls itself around. However, locals believe the hill in the story to be the nearby Worm Hill.  In most versions of the story, the worm is large enough to wrap itself around the hill three times, in others it is nine. The song claims this number to be ten.

The Lambton Worm #TheLambtonWorm #LambtonWorm The early Egyptians worshipped a holy crocodile (the Messeh). Over the years, this became a Dragon, which, in turn, became the sign of kingship. This eastern idea of a dragon influenced the Celtic tribes who invaded Briton and the Celtic kings in Britain were known as "Pendragons".  Heroes in Roman and Greek mythology fought with dragons. The Greek word drakon meant "one who sees" or "sharp-sighted one" and at first was a large serpent as well as "dragon".  The ancient Norsemen carved dragons on their ships and dragons were drawn on the shields of Anglo-Saxon tribes. The Chinese people also had a dragon mythology. In China, the dragon was seen as a symbol of good fortune.  In the west, however, dragons are not usually seen as so friendly. English dragons were often known as worms; with long scaly bodies, short legs, or no legs at all, and often no wings. They were slimy and killed with poisonous breath rather than fire. 'Worm' is dragon in Old English.
