575 - SPIRE

ERic worked for the Mickleburgh shop in Bristol where he had delivered many PIanoS to people's homes. He and his colleagues had to deliver an upright piano to a house in Redcliffe. Whilst having a welcome cuppa after the piano was delivered, Eric enjoyed listening to the owner who knew a lot about the 800-year-old church nearby. "Did you know that Queen Elizabeth I described the church as 'The fairest, goodliest and most famous parish church in England.'", said the owner. "And did you know that the original spire was destroyed by lightning 400 years ago?", he continued, "so the current one is only half the age of the rest of the building".
