About Chesterfield

Chesterfield, with its roots reaching back into the rich soil of Derbyshire, has long been a centre where the land’s bounty meets human endeavour. It lies 6.0 km west-south-west of Staveley (from Staveley: bearing 237°T, OS grid SK 381 711), and is situated west of Calow village. The River Rother has carved a gentle path through the landscape, its waters once powering the mills that defined the town's industrial heritage, leaving behind a legacy of resilient industry and a skyline touched by the echoes of its manufacturing past. The surrounding countryside, a mosaic of verdant fields and ancient woodlands, whispers tales of Roman roads and medieval markets, a testament to the enduring spirit of this East Midlands hub. Chesterfield’s heart beats strongly in its bustling market square, a vibrant pulse where the scent of fresh produce mingles with the chatter of traders, a tradition stretching back centuries. Dominating the skyline, the spire of St Mary and All Saints' Church, often called the "Crooked Spire," stands as a curious and beloved landmark, its unusual lean a whimsical enigma that has captivated visitors for generations. It is a place that has nurtured talents, including the esteemed playwright and screenwriter, Dennis Potter, whose evocative narratives often drew from the stark beauty and complex lives found in communities like this.
