The Great Storm of Wind on Friday week: spire of St
The Great Storm of Wind on Friday week: spire of St. Michael's Church, Blackheath, blown down, 1881. The south of England, and especially the country a hundred miles round London, with the metropolitan district itself, seem to have felt its extreme violence; and a vast amount of damage has been done to buildings and plantations, while many persons, in different parts of the country, and a few in London, lost their lives from various injuries...It seems, indeed, to have been a revolving storm, or cyclone, of vast circumference, having a diameter of not less than two hundred miles, covering nearly the whole of England, and connected with more extensive atmospheric disturbances beyond...At St. Michael's Church, Blackheath Park, eighteen feet of the top of the spire fell, carrying away in its descent a pinnacle and a large stone cross four feet high. Fortunately, it fell directly in front of the principal entrance; had it taken any other direction it must have gone crashing through the roof. The fallen spire, which was broken into several pieces, lay where fell, and was visited by hundreds of persons'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
