If you're in Chesterfield you must try and take advantage of the tour of the 'crooked' spire church of St Mary and All Saints. The verger who took our tour was friendly and fearless in his assent of the tower and spire. It's not a climb for the fainthearted but the views are great and the kids loved it. And for £3.50 it was a bargain. read more

The Church of St Mary and All Saints, popularly known as The Crooked Spire Church, is the most intriguing and characteristic monument in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. While nobody knows for sure why the spire is twisted and leaning to one side, it certainly adds significant amusing character to the city centre, which is otherwise your typical smallish English Midlands town. This Anglican church dates back to the 13th century, though most it was finished a century later, including that comical spire. New painted windows were added as late as 1984. The inside of the church is very characteristic of many in England, and not particularly spectacular. There is a line of wooden tablets attached to the walls that illustrate the martyrdom of Christ. Entry to the church is free, and you're welcome to take photos. read more
