About Church of St Mary and All Saints (Crooked Spire)
The Church of St Mary and All Saints in Chesterfield is famous throughout the world for its Crooked Spire — a 228-foot timber spire twisted 45 degrees and leaning nine feet from true, warped over the centuries by unseasoned timbers and the weight of its lead covering. Built mainly in the 14th century, it is the largest church in Derbyshire and the town's defining landmark, home even to a family of peregrine falcons. Guided tower tours run through the year, and it remains an active Church of England parish with a full round of daily worship.
