| 376 Wybunbury | ||
Cheshire's very own Leaning Tower of Pisa still stands proud above the village of Wybunbury, outliving the rebuilding of no less than five attendant churches. Built on shifting sand only a century after Italy's more famous version, the 120ft tower has been straightened several times. In 1969 they had a spring clean and discovered a hoard of ancient silver, including a Charles II Tankard which was sold to pay for the new church. So why not have a tidy up? You never know what you might find!
