St Mary and All Saints, Chesterfield Church Way, Chesterfield, S40 1HJ. Famous throughout the country for its crooked Spire, which both twists and leans! It stands 228 feet high and leans 9 and a half feet from its true centre (probably because it was built of green oak and then had 32 tons of lead covering it). It is also the largest church in Derbyshire. You can take a trip to the top of the tower
St John the Baptist, Tideswell. Known as ‘The Cathedral of the Peak’, it is a truly beautiful church in a village setting. Dating back to the 14th century, it has lovely carvings, a gothic organ case and a very long chancel.
Lichfield Cathedral, situated in Staffordshire, UK, is a historic marvel dating back to the 7th century. Known for its striking architecture blending Gothic and Norman styles, it features three distinctive spires and houses the shrine of St. Chad. Visitors can admire intricate carvings and stained glass windows, and attend concerts amidst its spiritual ambience. A symbol of both religious significance and architectural prowess, it remains a captivating destination for cultural exploration.
