St. Mary and All Saints Parish Church, Chesterfield
Sunday 12th July 2015
The reason there has been no posting in the past few days, I have been away to the Peak District and unable to post. On Sunday, we found ourselves in Chesterfield on the eastern edge of the Peak District. It's church is famous throughout the UK as the only church in the country with a crooked spire, which rises to a height of 228 feet (77 metres) and leans 9 feet 6 inches to the south west. The spiral twist is about 45 degrees from the base and was built with green timber in the 1300's possibly by design. It is a grade 1 listed building.
