I have yet to come across a Church that does not have some redeeming architectural features on our coach journeys, some Churches being more grand than others. But this Church does require a few minutes of your time to appreciate it's interior splendour. Yes the twisted spire is it's recognisable feature but inside it has some intricate features worth seeing, the stained glass windows being just some of them. A nice Church.

We visited the Christmas tree exhibition which was absolutely beautiful. The church itself is a must see. The stained windows are gorgeous. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The only downside was that it is not fully accessible to the disabled. My adult daughter uses a mobility scooter and my husband and myself had to lift it up and over several steps otherwise she would have missed half the exhibition. We also saw an elderly man get stuck in a narrow doorway with a walking frame. Otherwise fabulous.

St Mary and All Saints, in Chesterfield, is the largest parish church in Diocese of Derby and is famous locally and internationally for its crooked spire, attracting visitors from around the world...

Gorgeous space. Crooked spire church. Open 9am-4pm. Go, discover its history and be impressed. Acoustics are great too. Allow 90 minutes for a proper job.

What a stunning Church. The twisted spire aline is worth a visit. Many stories as to why the spire is twisted. Beautiful stations of the cross around the walls. The stain glass windows were stunning, the one depicting St Francis of Assisi was fabulous. The high altar had a beautifully ornate altar cloth.

The Church of St Mary and All Saints, popularly known as The Crooked Spire Church, is the most intriguing and characteristic monument in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. While nobody knows for sure why the spire is twisted and leaning to one side, it certainly adds significant amusing character to the city centre, which is otherwise your typical smallish English Midlands town. This Anglican church dates back to the 13th century, though most it was finished a century later, including that comical spire. New painted windows were added as late as 1984. The inside of the church is very characteristic of many in England, and not particularly spectacular. There is a line of wooden tablets attached to the walls that illustrate the martyrdom of Christ. Entry to the church is free, and you're welcome to take photos.

Limited hours but open every day, with warm welcome from volunteers. Spectacular size and decoration, better than many cathedrals we have visited. Well worth a visit, and central to attractive town with large market etc. Short walk to River Rother and start of Chesterfield Canal.

Wonderful piece of history - there is such a world to see beneath the crooked spire. Like many other major churches of its kind, this one just seems to automatically double in size the moment you step inside.

Very lovely church just take a look inside

Lovely, little church with the "wonky" spire. I couldn't go up the spire as tours had stopped. Hoping to come back when the tours are back on! You can still walk around the church which is quite big. Definitely recommend visiting!

Went for the Christmas tree display that are created every year by local school/businesses and charities. Such a lovely day out suitable for all the family

Christmas Tree festival 🎄.The twisted spire was amazing and breathtaking inside as it was outside

Chesterfield is famous for its crooked spire and you can see why. It does make you wonder how it manages to stay upright. The stain glass windows are nice and some interesting tombs. It's well worth a visit if you're in the area .

What an amazing church. Passing Chesterfield and popped in for a spot of lunch and to view this amazing twisted spire. Apparently cowboy builders were around in the 14th century! After the black death caused a shortage of skilled workers, the spire was made from green wood and no cross beams. This caused the spire to twist, then they added the lead tiles and this made it lean! It is a very wonderful thing to view. Inside the church is full of beautiful carvings and stained glass windows. As you walk around, the history of the church is told. Absolutely worth a visit, free entry, very cheap parking across the road from the church, and the town is very quaint with all amenities required. A very positive experience on our visit in May 2023.

Always a wonderful place to visit- a really special place with a variety of stained glass windows and a set of very spiritual altars and statues. A stunning church inside and out- of course with the iconic blue twisted spire!

A beautiful and iconic church. The last week of November and beginning of December hosts the Christmas Tree Festival to support and advertise local businesses and charities and help raise funds for the church itself. A few nice gift items are available to buy in the entrance vestibule. Please note that there are no public toilets in the church itself.

I went here primarily to see the knife angel, was very surprised at how amazing the church is. I can very highly recommend a trip to the church

Chesterfield has the famous crooked spire its a good place for shopping, vast array of cafes and pubs and restaurants alike. The church is in the heart of the town centre and makes it unique with the twisted spire.

Went specifically to the church to see the Knife Angel whilst it was on show. Very thought provoking

Its a must to see over 300 years & more in one building I am glad it's a church I no it was crowded every one looking at Christmas trees I was even shown The font we're I was christened over 71 years ago I will be visiting again open my mind see history every we're I looked, though I disabled I used Two walking sticks it gave me the freedom to look around & light a candle for my parents now gone.

A magic place with people who really love it.Great Christmas tree show going on right now.Feels good to be there.

Stunning and a beautiful calming experience

A beautiful church, open and welcoming which is so rare these days. A fine surprise. Anglican churches often have their treasured old doors firmly shut and defaced with laminated signs promising fear rather than faith.

Really nice. A nearby church tea shop in Church grounds very good, staff friendly, yes and buns not expensive.

I've known about this church for as long as I can remember, but nothing prepares you for your first sighting of it as you come into Chesterfield. The crooked spire is an unbelievable shape. It's funny staring at it, while the locals pass by as though it's quite normal. It's a very unique church and something Chesterfield can be proud of. It's worth visiting inside too, because it's absolutely beautiful and full of history. There's a gift shop inside and tours up the spire will commence when covid is under control.

Very well looked after; the Church feels really well loved. In fact there were several ladies cleaning in various parts of the building while we looked around. Interesting information boards to read too. Worth popping in for a quick visit if you are in Chesterfield.

A pretty unique church in it's own space but so close to the town centre and all the amenities one would ever require. On the doorstep of the tourist information centre, close to rail and bus transportation hubs. Less than 5 minutes from major shops, a shopping mall and a traditional market. Hostelries, pubs, cafés and other eateries a-plenty . . . fill ya boots, a visit to this church with its iconic spire is a must and of course Chesterfield is on the edge of the Peak District National Park for other well sought out attractions.

Incredible experience. It's worth the visit to see all the history displayed in such a way. A great spiritual moment.

Lovely historical place.😉👍

This is a beautiful Church and a must visit for a little self peace.

An amazing building with unique architecture. Chesterfield Parish Church  is an Anglican church dedicated to Saint Mary  and All Saints. Building of the church began in 1234 AD, though the present church dates predominantly from the 14th century. St Mary's is best known for its twisted and leaning spire (known as the Crooked Spire). If you pass through Chesterfield you have to stop and visit the church because you will have a great experience.

I have been to The Crooked Spire and it was an Exceptionally wonderful experience. I would recommend Everybody to come and visit this Exceptionally Beautiful and Marvellous Place.

Enjoyed walking around this lovely church, Reading the tales of why it's twisted!!! Very pretty

The famous Chesterfield landmark. Iconic crooked spire housing a church with rich history & amazing architecture.

A piece of heaven on earth! A calm place of reflection, prayer and architectural magnificence. History speaks volumes from these quiet stones and vaulted spaces. And topped off with that amazingly twisted spire! Visit as soon as you can.

Absolutely iconic and a unique place which is just as beautiful inside as it is out. Very quirky to look at yet very peaceful and serene within the Church as well.

The spire is definitely a sight to behold. Definitely stands out. Lovely church although unable to go in at the time as there before it was open to the public. Well worth a visit.

Great organists practising, very light n bright and airy church ,came especially to see the spire..

Beautiful old church, central to town and in pleasant grounds. Excellent gift shop inside too. Well worth a visit if in town.

(Translated by Google) From every perspective, the church makes an amazing impression, the most unusual tower with a twisted roof. It is worth visiting the facility and its surroundings, I recommend it very much (Original) Z każdej perspektywy kościół robi niesamowite wrażenie, najbardziej nietypowa wieża że skręconym dachem. Warto odwiedzić obiekt i okolice, polecam bardzo

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Went to look at light projection enjoyed it.

A beautiful Church set in well kept grounds. There's regular services and a Christmas Tree Festival each year mid December. Right in the centre of town too and shops are easily accessible from thus area.

Well Dressing happening on Sat. Preparations happening when we went this week. Lovely welcoming church. Amazing steeple and folk stories to tell you why. Can sit and socially distanced pray.

A church whose beauty and history can rival many of our country's cathedrals.

The best church in the country simple as that got to be seen

A beautiful church, with an interesting spire, A perfect place, for a luncher to retire...

Iconic.

Lovely church with an interesting twisted spike. The staff there was also very friendly. Worth to visit when you pass by.

Lovely old church, recommend the coffee shop by the crooked spire as well, amazing scones!!

A beautiful church with a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.

It's ight

Beautiful church!!!

Beautiful

Worth a look at this strange iconic church

The iconic spire is a must visit for a day out. Chesterfield centre has some classic buildings amongst the modernization. The market and Market Square are really good.

(Translated by Google) Great (Original) Super

Probably more famous from the outside because of the twisted spire but the inside is very nice with some lovely stained glass windows both ancient and modern.
