The Crooked Spire
Public house in front of Chesterfield Parish Church. The pub takes its name from the famous crooked spire which can be seen in the background.
The spire was added to the 14th century tower in about 1362 http://www.friendsofthecrookedspirechesterfield.co.uk/notesonthechurch.php . It is both twisted and leaning, twisting 45 degrees and leaning 9 ½ feet from its true centre. There have been many myths and legends about how the spire became crooked, but it is now believed that the twisting of the spire was caused by the lead that covers the spire, which was added 300 years after it was built – before this it was covered with oak tiles. The lead causes this twisting phenomenon, because when the sun shines during the day the south side of the tower heats up, causing the lead there to expand at a greater rate than that of the north side of the tower, resulting in unequal expansion and contraction. This was compounded by the weight of the lead (approx 33 tons) which the spire's bracing was not originally designed to bear.
It is this twisted spire that gives Chesterfield FC its nickname, 'The Spireites'.
