Church with Crooked Spire

            The Church of St. Peter and St. Paul in Ermington, Devon is famous for its crooked spire.  The use of unseasoned wood in the construction may have been the cause of the kink.  However, local yarns suggest that the steeple craned its neck too far in trying to catch a glimpse of a particularly beautiful bride.
