Chesterfield Honors Queen Elizabeth II
September 9, 2022 in England ⋅ ☁️ 64 °F
An outpouring of love for Queen Elizabeth II is happening now, and will continue for some time. We went to Chesterfield to see the church with a crooked spire. The Queen's picture was on the altar in the church's Chapel of St. Peter, along with a book where people could write prayers and tributes to her.

After exploring the church, we went to Queen's Park for a picnic, and saw flowers in her memory at the bandshell.

There will be many memories of her. One quote I just read shows her humor. She was short, only 5' 3", and she was known for her bright colors. She said, "I have to be seen to be believed!"Read more

Traveler I am so envious of you getting to take this all in! However, we are inundated on TV so don’t think we are missing much! Have a “cupa” for me! SC 🥰

Traveler It is momentous and seems strange to think about being here at this time, but it's sad. She was well-loved and will be missed.

Church With the Crooked Spire
September 9, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F
The Church of St. Mary and All Saints in Chesterfield is famous for its crooked spire. It was built in the late 13th century. The spire leans 9 feet 5 inches from its true center. The bottom timbers of the tower decayed and the 32 tons of lead tiles were heavy enough to make it crooked over time.

Chesterfield has named their football (soccer) team the Spireites!Read more
