Hard to chose a special example for #steepleSaturday but it just might be that of St. Colman's Cathedral, Cobh, in #Ireland, designed by Pugin's son Edward Welby Pugin , and George Coppinger Ashlin, built 1868-1919. The cathedral has a wonderful, commanding position https://victorianweb.org/art/architecture/puginew/1.html

The Old Town House, Stonehaven for #SteepleSaturday. Until 1974 Stonehaven was the county town of Kincardineshire. Nowadays it's in the modern Aberdeenshire. 1/2

St Mary's Church of Scotland, Dumfries in the rain for #SteepleSaturday. The congregation was dissolved in 2025, and the building is now in the ownership of the River of Life Church, part of the Independent Evangelical Alliance. Presumably many of the same people go here still.

Tucked away at the end of a lane off of English Street, Carlisle is St Cuthbert's. The main Anglican parish church of the city, rebuilt in 1778-9 and externally in the boxy Georgian protestant style of the day, although this is ameliorated by a lively interior. #SteepleSaturday

Our Lady and St Joseph, Carlisle, c1900, for #SteepleSaturday. An architect's drawing in the Builder in 1870 shows a much grander church with a spire, but perhaps the money required resulted in a more modest yet harmonious design.
