St. Margaret's at Cliffe 3

A nineteenth century woodcut of St. Margaret of Antioch from Greece, here depicted abusing a dragon with a hammer. But, to be fair, it seems that the dragon had been trying to eat her.

At one time in communication with Joan of Arc.

Tortured to death around 300AD for not abjuring her faith and marrying the local big-wig.
