The top of St Luke and St Andrew's church is crowned with a large and shiny weathercock. It was actually given to the church by a William Vaughan in 1813 and was most recently regilded in 1997 at a cost of £845. It is six feet long and five feet high; your humble contributor has never seen one so big and wonders if it is the biggest weathercock in Christendom.
