More information on Chesterfield Parish Church/Crooked Spire
This famous landmark, which is accessible within a 15 minute taxi ride from Sheffield city centre, has stood in the centre of Chesterfield for more than 700 years and attracts many visitors every year. The spire is not only twisted but it also leans to the south. Everyone asks how the spire became crooked and legends lay the blame on everything from the Devil to a beautiful bride, but the most likely answer is that at some unknown date, the sun heated the green timber, splitting one of the main supports and tilting and twisting the 228 foot spire. This unusual effect was probably heightened by the way in which the lead roof slates were laid on the spire. It is possible to see the spire from anywhere in Chesterfield or from the train when passing through the town; most visitors think it is spectacular.
