A ''HFF'' from Dj... in Chesterfield - Derbyshire.

A ''HFF'' from Dj... in Chesterfield - Derbyshire.
Tree leaf cover now obscures most of Chesterfield Parish Church - here is a limited view of the famous 'crooked spire'. It is an Anglican church located in the town of Chesterfield - Derbyshire. Dating back to the 14th century, is widely known for its twisted and leaning spire, but hardly noticed by us locals.
It is now believed that the twisting action was caused by the lead that covers the spire. The heat from the sun on the south side of the tower causes the lead there to expand at a greater rate than that of the north side of the tower, resulting in unequal expansion and contraction.

Thanks 'trester'... as we live nearby we see the tower regularly and hardly notice it any more -
but it is very twisted and gets many tourists.
Cheers from David J' (HFF)
