porch at the west end, and the spire
IL placed as closely as possible to IT..
The origin Of this architectural freak
has not been ascertained, but there
10 a tradition to the effect that when
Orms, the Saxon pirate from whom
the town derives its name, decided to
construct a kirk, or church, as an
expiatory Offering for his evil deeds,
his two daughters quarreled over the
design for the structure. One deter
mined to have tower, the other was
equally resolved to have steeple.
