The slender and well-proportioned spire rises from a crenellated tower.

275 x 213 mm. View from the road looking towards the sandstone Gothic church. The tower in the foreground possibly awaits the addition of a spire. Both the church and the precise location have not been positively identified; the handwriting of the caption is difficult to read and is further made obscure by dirt marking.
