The Rutland Arms
Located in the shadow of the Church of St Mary and All Saints, famous for it's crooked spire. The spire was added to the 14th century tower in the fourteenth century, it is both twisted and leaning from its true centre. The leaning characteristic was initially suspected to be the result of the absence of skilled craftsmen, insufficient cross-bracing, and the use of unseasoned timber. However, it is now believed that the twisting of the spire was caused by the lead that covers the spire, because when the sun shines during the day the south side of the tower heats up, causing the lead there to expand at a greater rate than that of the north side of the tower, resulting in unequal expansion and contraction.
