Twisted

I don't think I need to tell you where I was today, the spire is pretty distinctive!
Such an amazing spire but I have no idea where you were.

Nice shot. I always enjoy driving by here on my way to Bakewell. Must stop to photograph it one day!

@kjarn @dridsdale Haha, I didn't expect anyone outside of England to know this one :) It's a church in Chesterfield, in the county of Derbyshire. The spire is twisted as you can see, and there are several different legends as to how this came about (though it's thought to be due to lead and green wood).

Interesting- I've never heard about this, but it's now on my list to visit when we next go to Derbyshire šŸ˜

very strange. I don't believe I've ever seen this before, though it sounds like there is a lot of recognition.
