About Chesterfield
Chesterfield is a market town and district in Derbyshire,
a county in England. It lies south of Sheffield, on
a confluence of the rivers Rother and Hipper, and
has a population of approximately 100,000. It is located
at 53°34' N 1°25' W It received its market
charter in the year 1204 from King John. The crooked
spireChesterfield benefitted greatly from the building
of the Chesterfield Line - part of the Derby to Leeds
railway (North Midland Line), which was begun in 1837
by George Stephenson. During its construction, a sizable
seam of coal was discovered. This and the local ironstone
were promptly exploited by Stephenson who set up a
company to trade in the minerals. During his time
in Chesterfield, Stephenson lived at Tapton House,
and remained there in his retirement. He is interred
in Trinity Church. Chesterfield is perhaps best known
for the "crooked spire" of its Church of
Saint Mary and All Saints. The twisted spire leans
9 feet 5 inches from its true centre. The twisting
is probably the result of unseasoned timbers or insufficient
cross-bracing, although there are other explanations:
One is that the spire was so shocked to learn of the
marriage of a virgin in the church that it bent down
to get a closer look. Another is that a Bolsover blacksmith
mis-shoed the Devil, who leaped over the spire in
pain, knocking it out of shape. The Channel Tunnel
between England and France used boring machines manufactured
in Chesterfield by the company Markham & Co.,
which no longer exists in the town. Famous people
to come from Chesterfield include footballer Bob Wilson
and glamour model Jo Guest. Derbyshire was traditionally
divided into six hundreds, namely Appletree, High
Peak, Morleyston and Litchurch, Repton and Gresley,
Scarsdale, Wirksworth. These were based on the seven
earlier wapentakes recorded in the Domesday Book,
with the merging of Repton and Gresley wapentakes.
Derbyshire had a detached part in north-western Leicestershire,
surrounding Measham and Donisthorpe. This escaped
regularisation in 1844, and was incorporated into
Leicestershire in 1888 when the county councils were
set up. The thin strip of Leicestershire between the
exclave and Derbyshire, containing Overseal and Netherseal,
is now considered part of Derbyshire.
