This small, solid brass door knocker is a representation of the famous Imp from the Cathedral in Lincolnshire, England. Most visitors to the Cathedral want to see the Lincoln Imp, a thirteenth-century stone gremlin which, according to legend, represents the devil. Its likeness is used in everything from local council letterheads to designs for door knockers and garden ornaments. The imp is also the mascot of Lincoln City Football Club, local shops sell Lincoln Imp cheese, while the Lincoln Imp pub is a popular tourist attraction. This particular Imp was probably produced in the 1960's, that's how long it's been hanging around my house. In excellent condition, with two threaded holes in the back to facilitate hanging.
