The slim and elegant spire of St Andrew’s Church at Haconby was damaged by earthquake in 2008 when a large crack appeared in the stonework. Scaffolding was erected because there was a serious risk that the 14th century steeple might collapse and the top section of masonry was shored up with wooded battens and the weathercock removed until repairs got underway later in the year. Work on the Grade I listed building was completed by April 2009 when the final bill was £73,000.
