Interestingly, identical to the image that appears in the shield centre of the arms of the County of Somerset.

It’s a Tudor Dragon that also appears identically in the Arms of the City of London. The link for its use was King Henry VII who liked to claim descendance from Owain Glyndwr, who raised it as his standard, although it goes back before that to Cadwaladr, king of Gwynedd from 655 to 682, and even further to the Welsh Kings of Abberfraww. The design though became standardised at a later stage. I don’t know what the Tudor connection is with Somerset.
