Summary edit
| Description |
English: Fishponds parish church An 1847 visitor to Fishponds wrote of the spire that
"they have constructed a lightning conductor, which is ingeniously carried down outside the edifice from apex to base - a somewhat singular circumstance, from which I conclude that the parish authorities - apprehensive lest the electric fluid, in envy of so fair a structure, should entertain a pointed and particular spite against the spire of Fishponds - have taken every possible means in their power to protect so sublime and symmetrical an object from the effects of "oak-cleaving thunderbolts". However since the church was upgraded from a chapel in 1869 I am not sure whether this is the same spire or not. The whole account is worth reading http://fishponds.org.uk/fish1847.html |
