Which cathedral has the tallest spire, Wakefield Cathedral or Shrewsbury Cathedral?
Wakefield Cathedral:  Its 247 ft spire is the tallest structure in the City of Wakefield. Shrewsbury Cathedral:  Originally, a larger cathedral with a tall spire was planned. Shrewsbury Cathedral:  However, two years into the building of the cathedral, a stratum of sand was discovered very close to the building's foundations, causing them to be weaker than expected, so the spire had to be abandoned and the building scaled down.
