Text B: There is a salamander crawling up the wall of Churche’s Mansion in Cheshire. Much of the town was destroyed by the fire in 1583, and the mansion was one of only three large buildings to survive. It was the home of Richard Churche, a wealthy salt merchant; when he built it six years earlier he had the foresight to put a salamander on it – according to legend the creature cannot be destroyed by the fire. This early form of fire protection was obviously effective, and although the restaurant which now occupies the ground floor probably has a better insurance policy, the salamander is still on duty.
