I was watching a TV programme two nights ago about a steeplejack/steamengine buff called Fred Dibnah.
He was saying that some steeples are made with a bulge in the middle somewhere, to counter parallax in our vision. It will then make the steeple look to have straight sides, and not bow in a bit.
Anybody else hear anything about this. It is new to me.
Fred passed away a couple of years back but he was a very infectious character.
