Bakewell
Bakewell is a small market town as well as civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales area of Derbyshire, England, understood for a regional confection, Bakewell pudding. It rests on the River Wye, about 13 miles (21 km) south-west of Sheffield. In the 2011 census the civil parish of Bakewell had a population of 3,949. The town is close to the visitor destinations of Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall. Although there is proof of earlier negotiations in the area, Bakewell itself was probably established in Anglo Saxon times, when Bakewell was in the Anglian kingdom of Mercia. The name Bakewell suggests a springtime or stream of a guy called Badeca (or Beadeca) and derives from this personal name plus the Old English wella. In 949 it was Badecanwelle and also in the 11th century Domesday Book it was Badequelle. Bakewell Church Church, a Grade I noted structure, was founded in 920 as well as has a 9th-century cross in the cemetery. The present church was constructed in the 12th-- 13th centuries yet was practically rebuilt in the 1840s by William Flockton. By Norman times Bakewell had obtained some importance: the community as well as its church (having 2 clergymans) are stated in the Domesday Book as well as a motte and bailey castle was integrated in the 12th century. In the very early 14th-century, the vicar was terrorised by the Coterel gang, that evicted him and also seized the church's cash at the instigation of the canons of Lichfield Cathedral. A market was developed in 1254 as well as Bakewell created as a trading centre. The Grade I-listed five-arched bridge over the River Wye was constructed in the 13th century as well as is just one of the few surviving residues of that duration. An additional Grade I-listed bridge, Holme Bridge, was constructed in 1664 as well as goes across the Wye on the north-eastern borders of the community. A chalybeate spring was found and also a bath residence integrated in 1697. This brought about an 18th-century quote to establish Bakewell as a medspa town in the manner of Buxton. Construction of Lumford Mill by Richard Arkwright in 1777 was followed by the restoring of much of the town in the 19th century.
