Question: Why do fewer churches in the countryside have spires compared to churches near cities?
Name: Charlie, Sutton Coldfield
Answer: Square church towers used to have wooden spires on top of them. In rural areas these would become damaged or fall down and they were never repaired whereas a stone or a flint tower would survive for longer.
