Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Ringers' Jack Capacious leather flagon normally kept locked away in the ringing chamber of St. Mary's Cathedral, with 'Master' Les Townsend having the only key.
The Ringers Jack was presented to The City Ringers in 1782 by Mayor of Lincoln and brewer, Alderman Henry Bullen. It was held in great affection for many years by the ringing fraternity of the City, probably largely due to its size and the claim to hold 22 pints of ale. It lodged at the Great Tom public house which stood near The Exchequergate for some of its early life and later moved to The Black Boy in Castle Square during the 19th century when the Great Tom closed. Annual meetings of the Cathedral Ringers were held there for many years in the company of The Old Leather Jack which was regularly filled with nut brown ale, until December 24th 1898 when the minutes record We then adjourned to the Black Boy Inn when much disappointment was shown on account of the absence of the Old Leather Jack, Mr.John Kirk the landlord having left the house and taken it with him Mr Kirk had apparently claimed the Jack against a debt of 13/- owing for ale. So the Jack went with him to Hove from which it only returned in 1955 having been bequeathed to Lincoln Cathedral by Mr Kirks daughter. The Black Boy Inn is now the Castle Hill Club https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/114025 and has a replica of the Jack. The Cathedral Ringers now have a standing and appreciated invitation to take refreshment in the Club following ringing activities. |
