Perhaps @LincsCathedral can help — is there an M. R. James-style story behind the hooding of 'the Devil looking over Lincoln'? Or are you not allowed to tell?! ;)
Incidentally, with the regard to the name 'The Devil looking over Lincoln' for the gargoyle, worth recalling the position of Lincoln Cathedral above the medieval town — Lincoln, 1307, by David Vale: http://johnketteringham.me.uk/davidvale/ pic.twitter.com/X725YpyQy2
Perhaps it's necessary to protect Lincoln from evil influences in these troubled times.
Hah! :)
Protection prior to renovation maybe?
That's what they'll claim, I suspect... ;-)
