| Whichever way Grantham is approached, by road or
by rail, St Wulfram's tower and spire can be seen dominating the
town.
John Ruskin, the Victorian writer and art critic, was so
spellbound by the beauty of the spire when he first saw it, that
allegedly he swooned.
Simon Jenkins, in his book 'England's Thousand Best Churches'
said, "Here is the finest steeple in England... Grantham's slender
spire is one of the most exhilarating images of English
Gothic."
