Hillary S
Also known as the "Twisted Steeple Church"
The Parish Church of St Mary and All Saints的点评
点评：On arriving in Chesterfield the church was easily visible in the town centre and we really couldn’t get over just how much it was twisted and bent – in fact it has a 45 degree twist and was over 9 feet off centre! The herringbone lead tiling on top of the steeple before it had twisted demonstrates this very clearly.
it is the only UK representative in the Association of the Twisted Spires of Europe. Who would have thought they would have an association just for that! Of its 72 member churches, it is deemed to have the greatest lean and twist.
Within the church could be found some beautiful stained glass windows. The anniversary window was given to the church in 1984 by the local people and it traces the history of the town from the eleventh century up to present day.
The St Francis Window was installed in 1994 and was designed by Sep Waugh.
My favourite one, however, is the Transfiguration Window by Hardman (1874) which is a copy of Raphael’s Transfiguration at the Vatican.
Also of note was the Parish Chest circa 1600 AD. It was used to store parish records, vestments and church silver. Monetary gifts were placed in the chest and given to the poor people of the parish at Christmas. An early use was for the receipt of mass pennies, or “scots” – coins placed in the box at funerals. Those leaving the church on this occasion without making a gift, left ...”SCOT FREE”
This really is a "must see" - you won't be disappointed.

翻译：抵达切斯特菲尔德后，这座教堂在镇中心清晰可见，我们真的无法忘记它扭曲的程度——事实上，它扭曲了45度，偏离中心超过9英尺！尖塔顶部的人字形铅瓦在扭曲之前就清晰地证明了这一点。
它是欧洲扭曲尖顶协会的唯一英国代表。谁能想到他们会为此专门成立一个协会！在其72座成员教堂中，它被认为是倾斜度和扭曲度最大的。
教堂内有一些美丽的彩色玻璃窗。周年纪念窗是当地人于1984年赠送给教堂的，它追溯了该镇从11世纪至今的历史。
圣弗朗西斯窗于1994年安装，由塞普·沃设计。
然而，我最喜欢的是哈德曼创作的《显圣容窗》（1874年），它是拉斐尔在梵蒂冈的《显圣容》的复制品。
同样值得注意的是大约公元1600年的教区宝箱。它被用来存放教区记录、祭服和教堂银器。圣诞节时，人们会把钱放在宝箱里，送给教区的穷人。早期的用途是接收弥撒便士，或称“苏格兰币”（scots），即葬礼时放在盒子里的硬币。那些在弥撒期间没有捐赠就离开教堂的人，就……“免于惩罚”。
这绝对是“必看”之作——你不会失望的。
