St Winifrede's New Hall of 1895 in Holywell, Flintshire has this delightful slate decoration of the roofs. I am advised regarding the lettering that A M D G = Ad majórem Dei glóriam - For the greater glory of God. W V M could be Winefride Virginem Martyris?

This example is probably a wyvern rather than a dragon and is lurking on a rooftop in Macclesfield. This looks to be a fairly recent example rather than one of the Victorian examples which are generally of better quality detail.
