I love the old buildings particularly the ones that incorporate a lot of timbers. When you consider that there were no chainsaws, power tools and spirit levels a few centuries ago, they were masters at their crafts. Don't think many of todays modern buildings will be around in 50 years time, never mind 500 years.

One of my all time favourite buildings is the 'church with the crooked spire' in Chesterfield. The green oak they used twisted with the weight of the stones, slate and lead and actually looks a bit like a spiral. You can actually go up inside it which is amazing and have a closer look. Well worth a visit id you are ever in the area.
