Open Homes workspaceAbout Chesterfield
Chesterfield is a Derbyshire market town best known for the extraordinary twisted, leaning spire of its parish church of St Mary and All Saints — a genuine architectural curiosity caused by unseasoned timber and lead. A market town since medieval times, it retains a bustling open-air market with a royal charter. Sitting on the edge of the Peak District, and once a coal and engineering town linked to George Stephenson, Chesterfield offers an affordable rental market with good access to Sheffield and the Peaks.
