(Anglo-Saxon: spir, a stalk)
A tapering construction crowning a steeple or tower or surmounting a building. On the Continent the steeple and spire were merged into one, while in England a separate structure was preserved. It belongs to Pointed architecture, and has been fully developed in Gothic buildings. Renaissance spires are merely steeples terminating in a point.
