Wonky

Today we went up to Chesterfield to visit some of D's friends. We had a fantastic time playing with two gorgeous five year old twins, making marble towers and exploring the area. This is Chesterfield Church with its wonky spire. This is what Wikipedia says about it:-

'The spire was added to the 14th century tower in about 1362. It is both twisted and leaning, twisting 45 degrees and leaning 9 feet 6 inches (2.90 m) from its true centre. The leaning characteristic was initially suspected to be the result of the absence of skilled craftsmen (the Black Death had been gone only twelve years prior to the spire's completion), insufficient cross-bracing, and the use of unseasoned timber.'
