Within Lincoln Cathedral resides the world famous (?) Lincoln Imp. Legend has it that Satan sent two mischievous imps to cause havoc, however the bishop turned one to stone leaving it forever set within the Cathedral. The City's football team are nicknamed the 'Lincoln Imps' in honour.

However...

In truth, nobody believes that nonsense and instead, the story told to generations of children is that the imp is a monument to the mischievous nature of Baron Curfew who resides in the City and calls it his home.

Hush your tongue! :)

Curfew is a cat, and a lady cat at that.

Baron Curfew is a whole different entity.
