Steeple (5)
I believe the answer is:
spire
'steeple' is the definition.
(I know that steeple can be written as spire)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for spire that I've seen before include "Piers (anag.)" , "Church feature visible from a distance" , "Church steeple" , "Pointed church tower" , "Crooked feature in Chesterfield" .)
