Bakewell is a tiny market town and civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, understood for a local confection, Bakewell pudding. It pushes the River Wye, concerning 13 miles (21 kilometres) 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 vacationer attractions of Chatsworth House and also Haddon Hall. Although there is proof of earlier settlements in the location, Bakewell itself was probably established in Anglo Saxon times, when Bakewell remained in the Anglian kingdom of Mercia. The name Bakewell indicates a spring or stream of a male named Badeca (or Beadeca) as well as originates from this personal name plus the Old English wella. In 949 it was Badecanwelle and in the 11th century Domesday Book it was Badequelle. Bakewell Church Church, a Grade I noted structure, was founded in 920 and has a 9th-century cross in the cemetery. The present church was constructed in the 12th-- 13th centuries however was practically rebuilt in the 1840s by William Flockton. By Norman times Bakewell had actually gained some significance: the community as well as its church (having 2 priests) are stated in the Domesday Book and a motte as well as 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 seized the church's cash at the instigation of the canons of Lichfield Cathedral. A market was established in 1254 and 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 enduring residues of that duration. One more Grade I-listed bridge, Holme Bridge, was constructed in 1664 and crosses the Wye on the north-eastern outskirts of the community. A chalybeate spring was uncovered and also a bathroom house constructed in 1697. This led to an 18th-century bid to establish Bakewell as a health facility town like Buxton. Construction of Lumford Mill by Richard Arkwright in 1777 was followed by the rebuilding of much of the town in the 19th century.
