Church of St Mary and All Saints, Chesterfield

The Church of St Mary and All Saints was built in the 14th century and is in Gothic style. Its north transept was rebuilt in 1769. The church underwent extensive renovations in 1843 and 1896/8. The church's famous twisted spire dates from around 1362. Legend has it that the church spire turned when trying to look at a bride, surprised that she was a virgin. Other stories see it as an act of the devil. It is now believed that the twisting of the spire was caused by the lead expanding faster on the south (sunny) side than on the north side of the tower, resulting in uneven expansion and contraction.
