Is there a better vertical accent than a church spire? A case can be made for skyscrapers or mill chimneys but, without wishing to sound like the Victorian architect, designer and writer, A.W.N. Pugin, I have to say that a church spire (or two, or more) always improves the appearance of a village, town or city. This view of distant Ross on Wye seen from Wilton Bridge would be much less distinctive and distinguished without the early C14 spire and C18 pinnacles of the church of St Mary.
