Leaning a lot

 
 
 
Depending on how you look at it, it leans both ways!
In the third photo, you can see the base and how it is seeping into the ground. Work began on the tower in 1173 and it was completed in 1350 when its seven bells were hung. AT that time it was already leaning 4.5 ft from vertical. By 1993 it was 17.5 ft from vertical and was closed to visitors. Engineering intervention amanged to correct the lean by 14 ins and it was reopened in 2001. There is a staircase to the top for viewing. We didnt go up.
