The "Up and Down" of Spire

St Helen's original church spire is dated as from the 1300’s Unfortunately it now permanently located at ground level within the churchyard with a Grade 2 listing

The top of the spire was replaced in 1895, gas lighting was installed, then replaced with electricity in 1935. Central heating was installed with a boiler under the central aisle, to be replaced by a gas boiler outside the building about 1940.

It comprised of three sitting rooms, a kitchen scullery and pantries, five bedrooms, a bathroom, two box-rooms and, externally, a coach house, stable, cowshed, cow stall and coal house.
