I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'heaven' is the definition.

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for spire that I've seen before include "Pointed church tower" , "Tall pointed structure as on church or in O'Connell St." , "Crooked feature in Chesterfield" , "Feature of many churches" , "Tall cone-shaped structure on church" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
