The Legend Of The Bungay Black Dog

Tony Harper mentioned the black dog of Bungay to me today so I thought I would research it.  This tale dates back to 1577 during a mighty storm and a black dog crashed through the doors of St Marys Church attacking those sheltering there.  What was the black dog called?  What did the dog do to the door of Blythburgh church?  Whose work did the locals attribute this to?  And on what central feature of Bungay is the black dog depicted?  If you don’t know the answers to these questions and/or want to find out more then please select the following link:
