Bakewell is a tiny market community as well as civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales area of Derbyshire, England, known for a neighborhood confection, Bakewell pudding. It lies on the River Wye, regarding 13 miles (21 kilometres) south-west of Sheffield. In the 2011 census the civil parish of Bakewell had a population of 3,949. The community is close to the traveler attractions of Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall. Although there is evidence of earlier negotiations in the location, Bakewell itself was possibly founded in Anglo Saxon times, when Bakewell remained in the Anglian kingdom of Mercia. The name Bakewell means a springtime or stream of a male called Badeca (or Beadeca) and stems 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 detailed structure, was founded in 920 and has a 9th-century cross in the cemetery. The here and now church was built in the 12th-- 13th centuries but was practically rebuilt in the 1840s by William Flockton. By Norman times Bakewell had gained some value: the community and its church (having two clergymans) are stated in the Domesday Book as well as a motte and also bailey castle was built in the 12th century. In the very early 14th-century, the vicar was terrorised by the Coterel gang, that evicted him and confiscated the church's cash at the instigation of the canons of Lichfield Cathedral. A market was established 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 minority enduring residues of that period. An additional Grade I-listed bridge, Holme Bridge, was built in 1664 and also goes across the Wye on the north-eastern borders of the community. A chalybeate springtime was found and a bath residence constructed in 1697. This brought about an 18th-century proposal to develop Bakewell as a health club community in the manner of Buxton. Building of Lumford Mill by Richard Arkwright in 1777 was followed by the rebuilding of much of the town in the 19th century.
