A ''HFF'' to everyone., from Dj.. Chesterfield.. 'the crooked spire'.

The renowned ''Crooked spire' of 'Saint Mary and All Saints' ..The spire is twisted and leans 9 feet 6 inches (2.90 m) from its true centre. the lean has been ascribed to an absence of skilled craftsmen just 12 years after the Black Death, the use of unseasoned timber, or insufficient cross-bracing. The bend follows the direction of the sun and has been caused by heat expansion and a weight for which it was not designed.... [ Wiki ]

A ''Happy fence Friday'' to everyone - and 'Good wishes' too - from > David J.
