Leaning tower

The late 14th century tower of the Church of St Andrews, Burnham on Sea is a grade one listed building It is reputed that a plumb line dropped from the north side of the 78ft high tower is 3 feet from the building at the base, Image taken as the December Sun sets across Bridgwater Bay. Building the church on sand dunes is the most likely reason for the settlement.


Large if you please
