A tower, to this Brit, can be confused with the stone or brick thing

Especially as another well known mapping agency over here has 3
different church symbols, "Church", "Church with tower" and "Church
with
spire" :p
So, what symbol do they use for a church that has both a tower and a spire,
either separately or with the spire atop the tower?
As I see it: If there is no tower or spire then just a cross. With a
tower, but no spire then a square with a cross. With spire, either with
or without a tower (often with a tower below the spire) then a round
symbol with a cross. The highest, most stand-out-visible object
determines the symbol, which makes sense to me. The maps in question
were designed to show such things partly as a visual aid to navigation
so symbolising the most visible object was most useful.
