Deirdre MacCuish Bark: September 2013:
\nFor Keith, who comes from Lincoln & sang in the Cathedral with his school choir.
\nMusic: The Lincoln Imp: Muriel Johnstone Scotscores 2013<\/p>\n

The Lincoln Imp, is said in legend, to have been sent by the devil to plague the clergy in Lincoln Cathedral. He was blown in the great west doors, by the west wind and blew out the candles, scattered the hymn sheets & attacked the choristers. He flew into the angel choir & when he threatened to pluck out the angels’ feathers, the smallest angel turned him into stone. He can be found today near the top of one of the pillars in the cathedral.<\/p>\n
