Chesterfield = crooked spire.
That's the most famous thing.

American Psychology 1922-1947. It's the nearest thing to American Psycho that we are allowed to record.
Why is it twisted? Wiki only says why its bent.
Have you always wanted to act? Well Now you Can!! My Projects
on Chesterfield's website i found this:
"The Spire was 'twisted' when unseasoned wood was used during its construction. Then 32 tons of lead tiles were placed on top and as the timber dried out the weight of the lead twisted the spire"

Welcome to the UK, than!
It would be nice to meet up with you on your way through London, if there's a chance. Or if you come down for a break from Chesterfield!
My dad went to school there. That was a loooong time ago. Heck, it's a long time since I went to school, let alone him! Nice countryside around there - the Peak District - good for walking.
