Bakewell
Bakewell is a little market community and civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, known for a local confection, Bakewell pudding. It lies 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 attractions of Chatsworth House as well as Haddon Hall. Although there is proof of earlier negotiations in the location, Bakewell itself was possibly founded in Anglo Saxon times, when Bakewell was in the Anglian kingdom of Mercia. The name Bakewell implies a spring or stream of a guy called Badeca (or Beadeca) as well as originates from this personal name plus the Old English wella. In 949 it was Badecanwelle as well as in the 11th century Domesday Book it was Badequelle. Bakewell Church Church, a Grade I noted structure, was founded in 920 and also has a 9th-century cross in the churchyard. Today church was created in the 12th-- 13th centuries however was basically rebuilt in the 1840s by William Flockton. By Norman times Bakewell had actually acquired some significance: the town as well as its church (having two clergymans) are pointed out in the Domesday Book and also a motte as well as bailey castle was built in the 12th century. In the early 14th-century, the vicar was terrorised by the Coterel gang, who evicted him as well as confiscated the church's cash at the instigation of the canons of Lichfield Cathedral. A market was developed in 1254 and also Bakewell developed as a trading centre. The Grade I-listed five-arched bridge over the River Wye was created in the 13th century and also is one of the few making it through remnants of that period. Another 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 uncovered as well as a bathroom residence built in 1697. This brought about an 18th-century bid to establish Bakewell as a health spa town in the manner of Buxton. Construction of Lumford Mill by Richard Arkwright in 1777 was adhered to by the restoring of much of the community in the 19th century.
