By Norman times Bakewell had acquired some importance: the town and its church (having 2 priests) are mentioned in the Domesday Book and a motte and bailey castle was built in the 12th century. In the early 14th-century, the vicar was terrorised by the Coterel gang, that evicted him and also confiscated the church's money at the instigation of the canons of Lichfield Cathedral. A market was established in 1254 as well as Bakewell established as a trading centre. The Grade I-listed five-arched bridge over the River Wye was created in the 13th century and is among minority enduring residues of that duration. An additional Grade I-listed bridge, Holme Bridge, was built in 1664 and also crosses the Wye on the north-eastern borders of the community. A chalybeate springtime was uncovered and also a bath house constructed in 1697. This brought about an 18th-century proposal to establish Bakewell as a day spa community in the manner of Buxton. Construction of Lumford Mill by Richard Arkwright in 1777 was complied with by the rebuilding of much of the town in the 19th century.
