Raymond, Stanley: Story of Lindale Church & church leaflet

story:-

A window on the north side is a memorial to James Henry Edward Kenneth Deakin, who died young.

The window has the family coat of arms and the motto:-

"Strike Dekyn - ye De'ils in ye Hempe"

Squire Giles Daykin or Dekyn, 15th century, grew flax for a living. His money was kept in a strong box beneath his bed. The local innkeeper overheard two robbers planning to rob the squire by hiding in the hemp in a barn, to come out at night to steal the money. The squire told the squire:-

"Strike Daykin, the devil's in the hemp."

The robbers were caught by a posse of villagers, tarred and feathered, and sent on their way. Leaving a motto.
