View of Crooked Spire, Chesterfield

About

Climb the Tower of St Mary and All Saints Church for a close-up view of the ‘Crooked Spire’ and a bird’s eye view of Chesterfield.

Tours last around an hour and include a visit to the Belfry, some of the legends surrounding the twisted spire and what may be the truth behind Chesterfield's famous 'Crooked Spire'.

Tours for groups (five or more people) can be arranged at other times, please call 01246 206860 to arrange.

Especially if you are planning to travel, please check back on the Crooked Spire website as tours are liable to be cancelled if there is a funeral or other event in the church building, or if for any reason the volunteer guides are not available.
