Cathedral VI - the Chester Imp

There are many stone carvings in the Cathedral, but this one, of the Chester Imp, is high up inside, and gazes out of the window. Legend tells us that, centuries ago, during the construction of the Nave, a priest was startled by the sight of a demonic face leering at him through one of the windows. This he took to be Satan himself, come to investigate this latest fortress against his dark powers. Prompt action was taken, and stonemasons were ordered to carve an equally-ugly image and mount it where, should the Devil dare to look in again, he would be frightened away.
