The Lincoln Imp
We had the Imp trail in the summer , but this is The Lincoln Imp
here is the legend of the imp.:-
One day the Devil was in a frolicsome mood, and let out all his young demons to play.
After having allegedly stopping at Chesterfield, twisting the spire of St Mary and All Saints Church, a group of imps went to Lincoln and planned to wreak havoc in the city's stunning Cathedral.
Mischievous activities in Lincoln included knocking over the Dean, smashing the stained glass windows and destroying the lights. To put a stop to any further chaos, an angel appeared from the Bible left on the altar and commanded “Wicked Imp, be turned to stone!”
Some imps managed to escape, one of which is said to be found at St James' Church in Grimsby.
However, one imp remained, hurling insults and stones at the angel. The angel responded in kind, turning the imp to stone where it sat and it can still be seen there today.
