Fundraising under way to fix uneven floor at Dry Doddington’s 14th century church as stone slabs shift

A church in the Midlands that leans more than the Tower of Pisa is in need of more than £100,000 in repairs to renovate its wonky floor.

Dry Doddington’s St James church tower in Lincolnshire is famous for its jaunty angle of 5.1 degrees, compared to the landmark in Piazza dei Miracoli, Tuscany, which has a lean of about 3.97 degrees.

Residents are trying to raise money for the Grade II-listed building, which was built in the 12th century.
