This church, the largest in Derbyshire, was built in the 14th century and the famous 'crooked spire' was added in about 1362. Although it was at first thought the spire was twisted owing to the lack of skilled craftsmen after the recent Black Death or Bubonic plague, it's now thought the twist is the result of the lead which covers the spire. Sun shining on the south side in the day causes that side to heat up and expand at a faster rate than the north side, leading to unbalanced expansion and contraction.

Vertical composition photography in HDR technic of steeple from Augustinian Convent building of medieval town of Cremieu in Isere, Rhone-Alpes region in France (Europe). The convent was founded in 1317 by the Dauphins de la Tour and has sustained numerous alterations after the Revolution. The cloister dates from the reconstruction work undertaken by the monks in about 1640, after the accidental collapse of part of the buildings. This picture was shot with a bright orange sky and sunset at twilight time of the day. The church is the former chapel of the Augustinian convent. In 1791, during the French Revolution, when all the convent buildings have been bought back, it became the parish church. It was built since the 14th century and is leaning back against the ramparts. Its particularity is that it’s facing south-north. During the 15th century, a second period of construction towards the north started. It was changed many times up to the 19th century, especially the roof that was initially oak-panelled and that has been replaced by Neo-Gothic vaults.
