You just can’t fail to enjoy the canal walks. Plenty to see and take in

Although far from picturesque it forms an important integral part of the towpath of the Chesterfield Canal 😉

Building of the church began in 1234 AD, though the present church dates predominantly from the 14th century. Designated a Grade I listed building in 1971, St Mary's is best known for its twisted and leaning spire (known as the Crooked Spire). It is the largest parish church in the Diocese of Derby and forms part of the Archdeaconry of Chesterfield. In 1994, it also became the UK's only representative in the Association of the Twisted Spires of Europe; of the 72 member churches, it is deemed to have the greatest lean and twist.

By Liz Lemon. Inspired by the geological and industrial history of the site, home of both prehistoric fossils and, in more recent times, the Markham Engineering Works, a work that fuses organic and mechanical forms. Known locally as ‘The Snail’, the sculpture’s spiralling form simultaneously echoes the casings of the huge water-turbines once made at the Markham works and the tiny, fossilised creatures found in local coal measures. At night, internal, pulsating blue and green fibre-optic lights glow through the ‘portholes’, reflecting and enlivening the sculpture’s metallic surface. The sculpture’s relation to its site is further emphasised by inscriptions in the base replicating former Markham employees’ signatures.
