Church of St Mary and All Saints, ChesterfieldThe Church of St Mary and All Saints, more commonly known as the Crooked Spire, is the only grade I listed building in Chesterfield - and undoubtedly the town’s most iconic landmark.
The building of the church began in 1234 on the east side, and throughout the Medieval period, especially in the 14th century, the church continued to be expanded and improved.
Pictured here is the Crooked Spire after the church caught fire back in 1961.
By directing jets of water into the belfry, immediately under the spire, firefighters just managed to prevent the collapse of the steeple and eventually brought the flames under control.
