George's younger brother Cecil has to hang about all day feeding the birds. He thinks it is a boring but very important job. He is joined in this arduous task by Nelson's nephew, Clarence and Lucinda's niece Emily. Clarence has a stupid grin permanently on his face and is treated with contempt by Emily. But then she treats everyone the same.

Winston is a very friendly though mischeivous dragon. Having spent his life in Kennington, he is very street-wise. He is glad his mother has moved with him to live in the country

The Arkweld Animals are conceived and come to life in our West Devon workshops. We have been fortunate to have spent a lifetime working with livestock. We hope that the great affection we have for animals is captured in the Arkweld Animals.
