Mystery surrounds the medieval wooden knight discovered forgotten in a tower at Lincoln Cathedral

This odd-looking ‘clock Jack’, otherwise known as a Jack o’the clock, is a wooden knight three feet tall that would have struck a bell in a mechanised clock to sound the hour in times gone by. It was discovered tucked away in one of the three 80-metre tall towers at Lincoln Cathedral.

Experts are still struggling to put together the pieces of a story behind the clock Jack whose features and finer details have worn away over the hundreds of years, when it was either in use decorating a clock in the cathedral or out of sight in the tower.

My wife and I went through Lincoln Cathedral about 40 years ago.  As we were walking, we clearly heard a choir for just a few seconds.  We asked a docent where the choir was practicing and he said there were none their that day.  EERIE!
