In my words.

I was working on a commission nearby and kept an eye on the light moving around St Mary’s. The first light made the spire’s weathered surface seem luminous.

Here the eye follows a long line of warm stone towards the weathercock. I like the exchange between that slender form and the great breadth of sky around it.

The Soaring Spire. The complete upward sweep of the tower and spire.
