Twisted spires, often deemed one of carpentry’s most intriguing mysteries, have a rich historical heritage primarily rooted in France. The term ‘flèche torse’ or ‘clocher tors’ has become synonymous with these unique architectural elements. A simple Google search in English may reveal limited information, with the Church of St Mary and All Saints in Chesterfield, England, being a prominent example. However, delving into French resources unveils a plethora of twisted spires, with France boasting the most intricately twisted steeples, numbering 65. Germany follows with 22, and England with only 3. The earliest known technical drawing or ‘epure’ of a twisted steeple dates back to Nicolas Fourneau’s work in 1768. Notable carpenters such as Louis Mazerolle, Emile Delataille, and B. Cabanie further documented these unique architectural features in the late 19th century. The debate on whether these twists were intentional or accidental fuels scholarly discussions. Some twisted spires were undeniably crafted with meticulous intent, often by the revered Compagnons, masters of their craft. These spires stand as testaments to the Compagnons’ exceptional skill and knowledge, defying conventional expectations of structural stability and precision. This workshop will delve into the enigmatic world of timber framing to unravel the captivating mystery of twisted spires.
