St. James' Church spire, Louth

On Friday's video I pointed out how the spire of St. James' Church, Louth, towers above the town.

 St James Church

As I have mentioned before, Louth is in a valley. The tower and spire of the church were made tall enough to be seen from surrounding villages.

Not for the first time we went for a walk down one of the old farm tracks in the village. From the entrance to a field it is possible to see the Lincolnshire Wolds and the spire of St. James' Church. After all the recent rain the atmosphere and viewing were clearer than I have seen on previous attempts.

It is possible to make out the spire but by zooming in you can see just how far the tower and spire rise out of the valley about four miles away from my village..

Also viewable from the edge of the village is one of Europes tallest masts.

Built on high ground it stands 1154 ft (351.74m) above the ground.
The mast is about 10 miles away from me.

  2. Super photos - the penultimate picture reminds me of a church in Herefordshire at Weobley. You can see it from miles away.
