About

Spire ward encompasses Chesterfield's historic town centre, anchored by the famous crooked spire of St Mary and All Saints Church. The area is defined by its traditional market town layout, with the open-air market operating on specific days and a network of streets containing a mix of national and independent retailers. The ward includes the Queen's Park area to the south, providing formal gardens and recreational space near the town's central library and museum.

The ward's character is shaped by its civic and commercial functions, housing the town hall and main shopping precincts like the Vicar Lane centre. Residential areas consist primarily of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing radiating from the core, particularly to the east and south-east. The unique, twisted architecture of the 14th-century church spire, caused by the use of unseasoned timber and lead sheeting, remains the district's most prominent landmark visible from numerous points.
