The double spiral staircase is an unique feature. The outer has 160 steps and the inner 101. It is honeycombed with passages and is actually standing on three legs and a wall. The stairs may be ascended by using the outside door in the South West corner and descend into the main area below the bells inside the church itself. Similar staircases exist at All Saints Church in Pontefract, Yorkshire and in the Chateau du Chambord nears Tours in France.
