Bakewell
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 rests on 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 tourist destinations of Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall. Although there is proof of earlier negotiations in the area, Bakewell itself was probably founded in Anglo Saxon times, when Bakewell was in the Anglian kingdom of Mercia. The name Bakewell indicates a spring or stream of a guy 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 Parish Church, a Grade I listed structure, was founded in 920 and has a 9th-century cross in the churchyard. The here and now church was created in the 12th-- 13th centuries but was basically rebuilt in the 1840s by William Flockton. By Norman times Bakewell had actually acquired some relevance: the community as well as its church (having 2 priests) are discussed in the Domesday Book as well as a motte and bailey castle was constructed in the 12th century. In the 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 developed in 1254 and also Bakewell developed as a trading centre. The Grade I-listed five-arched bridge over the River Wye was constructed in the 13th century and also is just one of minority making it through residues of that period. 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 bath residence built in 1697. This resulted in an 18th-century bid to create Bakewell as a spa community like Buxton. Construction of Lumford Mill by Richard Arkwright in 1777 was adhered to by the rebuilding of much of the town in the 19th century.
