Lincoln Imp

The Lincoln Imp is a well-known symbol associated with Lincoln Cathedral in England. It depicts a mischievous, winged creature that was said to have caused trouble in the cathedral. According to legend, the imp was thwarted by an angel who turned it to stone, creating a permanent stone carving of the imp on the cathedral wall. The image represents the triumph of good over mischief and is a popular emblem tied to Lincoln’s history and culture. The carving has become a symbol of the city and the cathedral’s rich medieval heritage.
