Today's walk.....weather vane.

This weathervane is located on a building which was once part of Howells preparatory school. The whole area, once occupied by the prep school, has now been sold to a developer.
Howells school no longer exists but has become Myddelton College.

Have had problems with my camera set up with regard to sharpness, carried out an auto focus fine adjustment today and all is well once again.

Trip to Chesterfield, Derbyshire.

During the 19th century an official architectural survey declared the sprie unsafe and dangerous;
the town council were ordered to either take it down, or repair it and make it safe-they repaired it!
The octagonal spire is timber framed and constructed of oak with platelets of lead cladding rising in herringbone rows from the flat roof and crenallated battlements of the clock towered belfry, up to the golden cockeral atop the weathervane, 228 feet above the ground.
The spire currently leans 9ft 6ins to the south west and leans more every year.
The spire has a twist of 45% from west to eastat it's base which is thought to be attributable to the use of green, unseasoned timber, and the weight of the lead cladding.
The spire was added to the existing tower around 1362, but is not attached and is only held in place by the weight, 32 tons and perfect balance.

I only discovered this afterwards when I was editing, I am assuming these are the names of the guys involved in the manufacture of the spire.
