The Grimsby Imp: a tale of mischief and stone

Secret Lincolnshire

Available for over a year

The Imp has long been a symbol of Lincoln Cathedral - but there's a second Imp in the county, at Grimsby Minster. Legend tells that two Imps were sent by the devil, one of which was turned to stone in the cathedral. The other fled to Grimsby where he too met the same fate. Josh Gorroño Chapman has been in search of the Grimsby Imp.
