Inktober day 18 — The Lincoln Imp is a grotesque on a wall inside Lincoln Cathedral, England. According to a 14th-century legend, a mischievous creature called an imp was sent by Satan to do evil work on Earth. After causing mayhem in Northern England, the imp headed to Lincoln Cathedral, where it smashed tables and chairs and tripped up the Bishop. When an angel came out of a book of hymns and told it to stop, the imp started throwing rocks at the angel. As punishment the angel turned the imp to stone. 🎃 🎃 #fawnlorn #matthayton #illustration #inktober #inktober2017 #folklore #lincolnimp #grotesque #Gargoyle

Lincoln Imp letter rack in cast brass. 1930's. In excellent order, bearing the Lincoln Arms, the imp in classic posture. The two imps are famed for causing havoc in the cathedral and for tripping the Bishop up. One imp was turned to stone, the other still creates winds around the cathedral ... and occasionally adorns letter racks. £38 #blackdogcountry #blackdogcountryantiques #brass #letterrack #lincoln #lincolncathedral #lincolnimp #lincolnimps #bondslifestyle (at Bonds Lifestyle)
