Which is the tallest English church steeple?
It all depends what is meant by 'spire'. Strictly, a spire is the tapering construction built on top of a tower, sometimes at a later date, and the whole structure is the 'steeple'. even the best authorities get this confused, e.g. Salisbury Cathedral declare that their's is the highest spire in England at 404 feet, but this is actually the overall height, i.e. the steeple. So far as I know, there is no definitive answer to this question. The architect who said that the third highest spire in England is in Shrewsbury Town Centre, at the Chuch of St. Mary The Virgin, and this is 138 feet high, measured from parapet to c.ock. But he died recently and the source of his information is not known. It continues to be quoted in the literature and by church guides, however.
