Is it really like that?
David Birchall replied:
Helen, yes it really is like that, it's in the town where I live. Not by design, but by problems after construction, thought to be caused by some of the building materials used. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_St_Mary_and_All_Saints,_Chesterfield

Helen, I don't know if the link in my previous reply is valid, but just Google Chesterfield twisted spire and you'll find it.
