A 3ft tall figure of a wooden knight that once formed part of an impressive clock has been discovered at Lincoln Cathedral.The 400-year-old treasure turned up in an audit of artifacts at the historic building. The clock jack figure, which would have originally held a hammer in order to strike a bell and let out a chime, was hidden in storage in one of the towers.Records suggest that the jack was connected to the now restored clock in the north vestibule of the cathedral and the oldest part of that clock, the canopy, is reported to be from before 1380, making it around 600 years old.
