Bakewell
Bakewell is a little market community as well as civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, known for a local confection, Bakewell pudding. It pushes 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 traveler destinations of Chatsworth House and 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 means a springtime or stream of a guy 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 Parish Church, a Grade I provided building, was founded in 920 and also has a 9th-century cross in the churchyard. 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 gotten some value: the town and also its church (having 2 clergymans) are discussed in the Domesday Book and a motte as well as bailey castle was constructed in the 12th century. In the very early 14th-century, the vicar was terrorised by the Coterel gang, that evicted him as well as confiscated the church's money 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 created in the 13th century as well as is one of minority making it through remnants of that period. One more Grade I-listed bridge, Holme Bridge, was integrated in 1664 and also goes across the Wye on the north-eastern borders of the community. A chalybeate spring was uncovered as well as a bath house built in 1697. This resulted in an 18th-century bid to develop Bakewell as a spa 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.
