On the Roof of Church of St Walburge, Preston, Lancashire

I was in Preston the other day and noticed St Warlburg's church was open to visitors, Never been inside before and had an hour to kill so had a look inside. Soon found the door that leads to the roof so decided to have a look. Not my best video, I only had a Handycam on me and no time to prepare! Think I'll return with my Bridge camera and a decent light for a proper explore. Nice peaceful space for chillage tho' The Spire. Externally, St Walburge's spire, rising to 309 feet (94 m) is the dominant landmark in Preston and is one of the tallest structures of any sort in Lancashire. After Salisbury and Norwich Cathedrals, it is the third tallest spire in the United Kingdom, and is the tallest on a parish church. The steeple is constructed from limestone sleepers which originally carried the nearby Preston and Longridge Railway, giving the spire a red tint during sunset. The spire was the last to be worked upon by steeplejack and TV personality Fred Dibnah. Dibnah installed his red ladders to inspect the steeple, but television filming commitments then meant he was unable to complete the job. The ladders were left at the church for several years and were donated to the tradesman who eventually took the job.
