Stolen from the shores of Normandy, the pale limestone of Caen was carried across the sea to shape two of Norwich’s greatest landmarks, Norwich Castle and Norwich Cathedral.

Over centuries, these stones have weathered time, war, and whispering footsteps, standing as silent sentinels of the city’s history. But what if something else came with them?

Some say dragons once nested in the quarries of France, their scales as pale as the carved stone, hidden among the blocks as they sailed across the channel.

When the masons laid their hands upon the stolen stone, perhaps they disturbed something ancient. Something that lingers still.
