In 1911, it was reported that the custom of ringing a 'Prentice bell – an old Angelus bell, used but once a year – was still rung from the Crooked Spire every Shrove Tuesday at a quarter to eleven as a pancake bell. [13] In 1810, a peal of 10 bells was installed in the steeple underneath the spire, [8] which could be heard up to four miles away, in a quieter age. [1] In 1817, an inspection concluded that loose and rotting timber inside the spire, and the structure being pushed southward from inner support beams, meant the structure was in imminent danger of collapse, and it was recommended that the entire spire be dismantled for safety. [9] However, it was decided the spire could instead be repaired. [10]

Chesterfield: Man arrested after death following churchyard

A unique opportunity to see this home-grown ‘West End musical’ directed by Jake Smith (Sting’s Last Ship/Sleepy Hollow) and featuring local and London stage performers.

But as Alan says, we need to understand the person that committed the crime, to prevent things like this happening again. The information should not be witheld for the sake of protecting 'one of their own' to the detriment of maybe countless of victims. a b "Chesterfield's Crooked Spire: Mission with a Twist".

Detectives investigating the death of a man after an altercation in a churchyard are looking to speak to a potential witness. As an avid reader of crime fiction, I thought it would be good to try this real life crime. From the start it has that TV drama/film feel, with captions like “The chilling true story they don’t want you to read” and “the case they tried to bury”. Some chapters also end with a “cliffhanger”. I notice that the author has been a journalist, and TV writer, and therefore this dramatic, sensationalist style is not a surprise, but it does make it read like a serialisation!!.
