The Crooked Spire of Chesterfield Parish Church of St Mary and All Saints, Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England
It is not known why the spire is twisted. In common folklore, there are numerous explanations as to why the spire is twisted. One well established legend goes that a virgin once married in the church, and the church was so surprised that the spire turned around to look at the bride, and continues that if another virgin marries in the church, the spire will return to true again; with only 3 weddings in 2010 in the church it seems that this legend understandably discourages marriages at the church
