Chesterfield Parish Church, nave and lobby. By David Charlesworth
£2.00 inc. envelope.
The card is A5 size with a detailed caption only inside “Blank inside for any occasion”.
No one knows quite how long there has been a church in Chesterfield but a church is listed in the Lincoln Chartulary in 1093-4 as having existed around 1042-1066. What is certain is that Chesterfield had a mother church in 1234 and that much of the work on the building we know today was completed around 1370.
The spire was added around 1362-1400. The lean and twist is a result of unseasoned wood and the uneven expansion and contraction of the lead. It is currently 2.9 metres (9ft 6in) from true centre with a 45 degree twist.
