The Crooked Spire. by tonygig

The Crooked Spire.

Church Of All Saints. Built late 13th century and finished around 1360, Its the largest church in Derbyshire. The Spire was built straight and it twisted because of the green timber they used during construction, if you want to no more go to, www.friendsofthecrookedspirechesterfield.co.uk
