TWISTED SPIRE ON A CHURCH.
According to the Legend "A Beautiful
Woman or the Devil Caused 1t.

woman or the DeN1I Caused IL.
From the Philadelphia Record
The parish church at Chesterfield, Eng
land has a curious splre Instead of being
perpendicular, 1t is bent and twisted, so
that the spire deyiates from the perpendic-
ular some six feet 10 the south and four
feet to the west. Stories and legends re-
lating thereto are numerous and interest
ing.
one tells that pretty and virtuous wo-
men were exceedingly scarce in the town,
so scarce that when one day a good and
lovely woman stepped within the church
to be married, the steeple was astonished
and bowed TO the bride, and that the bend
was made wnen attempting to regain its
original position. The legend is still more
unkindly toward the fair sex, for it con-
tinues that never Will its upright position
be regained until another model woman
is married beneath.
With many legends the Prince of Dark
ness is connected, and the best of these is
as follows:
The devil flying over town, and tired with
extra eXertion, settled on the spire to rest.
The incense which was being burnt in the
church at the time, was waited upward,
and so tickled the devils nose that he
gave a terrible sneeze, which so shook
the steeple that it was irretrievably twist
ed One of the most intelligent theories
put forward regarding the twist in the
spre is that the chnging pressure of the
lead may have caused an irregular subs-
dence in the timbers, which have also been
powerfully warped by the action of the sun
beating through the lead on to the green
er parts Of the woodwork.
Rumors that the spire was unsafe have
been rife, especially about the year 1917,
when experts who examined it pronounced
it to be in very unsafe condition. Pub
lie opinion was, however, against it's de-
molition, and the steeple still stands, one
of the strangest ARCHITECTURAL curiosities in
the world.
