How Chesterfield Church Got It's Crooked Spire. Dec 2017
The curator of Church of St Mary and All Saints, Chesterfield (Chesterfield Parish Church)
explains the most plausible way as to how the famous crooked, twisted and leaning spire came to be.
At 09:50 he says with conviction that one of his relatives told him that the spire was once straight and that the Devil is from Lytham St Annes, Lancashire.
He goes on to say with conviction that the Devil visited a Blacksmith at Lytham St Annes who caused him so much pain that he then flew across the Pennines and on to Chesterfield, grabbed onto the the spire, swung around it, causing the spire to become crooked.
He also tells the history of the church and its bells.

Yorkshire Royal at Chesterfield (Crooked Spire)
I filmed Yorkshire Royal in the Ringing Chamber and outside, but I don't know what was rung on the back 8 when in the Belfry. All I know is the tenor ringer can't have rung the bell much before! lol
Yorkshire Royal is a lovely method, but I am yet to learn it! It's my next challenge after Cambridge Royal, which (if I can remember it) is dead easy.
Chesterfield bells are great if they are struck well. Some of them are very odd-struck, especially the 9th.
Chesterfield church is famous for it's Crooked Spire. There are many stories about how it came to be crooked, my favourite is that it saw a virgin getting married there and it was so surprised it turned round to have a look! The more scientific story is that wet wood was used in it's construction, and the wood then dried and warped, creating the famous spire. This seems to be the correct theory, as there are three sets of wood in the spire: the original set, and then a second set put in in the early 16th Century, and a final set put in in the late 16th Century. The spire is so full of wood that if stood inside you cannot see more than a few metres up.
Also, never stand at the base of the spire with it tilting over you and look up. You feel as if you are falling off the tower! It is very strange.
Chesterfield College are keeping an eye on the spire (see the bit in the video) and keep the church updated as to it movement of it: it doesn't stand still!

#FreeCFCSoccerSchool
There was a fun filled day at St Mary's Catholic High School, as 116 players took part at the #FreeCFCSoccer School.
All participants got the chance to take part in matches, learn new skills as well as ask questions to Spireites captain, Ian Evatt. Evatt would later hand out Chesterfield away shirts to the first 25 players to have booked onto the course, while one lucky winner received a signed match worn shirt from the skipper!
