Unique wonky spire in the heart of the town. It is a beautiful church inside. The Church of St Mary and All Saints, also the Crooked Spire Church, is Chesterfield’s big landmark, famed for its twisting and leaning spire. Even the local football team, Chesterfield FC, is nicknamed the Spirites. That spire dates to 1362, and while the twist is intentional, and was common in Europe at the time, its tilt was caused by centuries and expansion and contraction in the lead tiles coating the structure. Of course, there are local legends explaining the twist and the lean, one being that a local virgin married in the church, and the building was so surprised that it span around to see the bride. On Fridays and Saturdays you can take a 45-minute tour of the tower, taking you part way up to take in the townscape and Derbyshire countryside.

Home to Chesterfield's iconic crooked spire. This beautiful mistake is visible from all high points in Chesterfield but nothing beats seeing it close up. The great thing is that it's right in the centre of town so it's convenient for grabbing a coffee or some lunch after you've been.
