Chesterfield is a market town and borough in Derbyshire, England. It lies 24 miles (39 km) north of Derby and 11 miles (18 km) south of Sheffield at the confluence of the rivers Rother and Hipper. Including Whittington, Brimington and Staveley it had a population of about 103,800 in 2011, making it the second largest town in the ceremonial county after Derby. Archaeologists trace it back to a Roman fort built in the 1st century AD, but soon abandoned. Later an Anglo-Saxon village developed. The name derives from the Old English ceaster (a Roman fort) and feld (grazing land). It has a street market of some 250 stalls three days a week. The town sits on a coalfield, which was economically important until the 1980s. Little visual evidence of mining remains. The best-known landmark is the Church of St Mary and All Saints with its crooked spire, originally built in the 14th century.

I've been shopping here for 40 years (who'd have thought it!) I mainly pop in for gifts - the range of goods and lovely cards is huge. It's so handy having its own car park - it makes it really quick to visit.

We bought our wedding rings here and had my engagement ring altered. The service was really good and although they made a mistake with the size of my husband's ring, this was put right quickly and with good grace. Thank you, we would come back.
