Back to Lincoln Cathedral

Scotter to Lincoln
Stacey Morford One of Koi's bosses came to visit the jobsite. While here he wanted to go "see something cool." So it was back to Linconln Cathedral. We hadn't seen the whole inside yet and the town is easy/fast to get to. So off we went. When we first arrived there was still church service going on so we went and ate lunch and walked around in the rain. There was a bike race going through town so there were lots of people to watch. Not much else happened. It took a while to see the cathedral and take pictures. I will let the pictures do the talking. Sorry if some of them are blurry. I'm still trying to figure out how to take clear photos indoors. We were able to see part of the church that was filmed for "The DaVinci Code." Oh, there was our search for the Lincoln imp. As the legend goes, the imp is a demon of the devil. He came to the church with the intent to cause trouble. He came upon an angel which he insulted and threatened. The angel cried out "O impious Imp, be ye turned into stone." So he sits in the Angel Choir of Lincoln Cathedral, made of stone. Hard to find if you don't know where to look. But all the books in the gift shop tell you! Sorry my picture isn't that great. My camera couldnt zoom any closer. I circled him for you. He's devilish elf looking thing with his legs crossed. We were hoping to see the Lincoln Castle but a tour had already left and we weren't very excited to walk around in the rain more. We did make it all the way around the Cathedral this time and took some more exterior photos. Enjoy!

These wall paintings are faux. They were made so the room appeared to be Westminster Abbey
