One says that a virgin married in the church and the spire turned around to look at the bride.
Legend also has it that a blacksmith from Bolsover made a poor job of shoeing the Devil who lashed out in agony as he passed over Chesterfield and gave the spire a violent kick.
In reality, however, it is believed the inclination was caused by unseasoned wood and heavy lead tiles.
