St Mary's Parish Church - Chesterfield

There are many reasons for the twist in the spire.
Some Logical, some based on Folklore.
My favourite is :

"The shortest, most insulting, and funniest is that one day a virgin bride got married in the church, and the spire, determined to witness such an unheard of event, twisted round to get a better look. The tale continues that if ever another virgin bride ties the knot in the church the spire will untwist".

I hope God has a sense of humour.
