Bakewell
Bakewell is a little market community and also civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, known for a regional confection, Bakewell pudding. It lies on the River Wye, concerning 13 miles (21 km) 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 also Haddon Hall. Although there is proof of earlier settlements in the area, Bakewell itself was most likely founded in Anglo Saxon times, when Bakewell was in the Anglian kingdom of Mercia. The name Bakewell means a spring or stream of a male called Badeca (or Beadeca) and originates from this personal name plus the Old English wella. In 949 it was Badecanwelle as well as in the 11th century Domesday Book it was Badequelle. Bakewell Parish Church, a Grade I listed structure, was founded in 920 as well as has a 9th-century cross in the cemetery. Today church was created in the 12th-- 13th centuries but was practically rebuilt in the 1840s by William Flockton. By Norman times Bakewell had obtained some importance: the town and its church (having two clergymans) are mentioned in the Domesday Book and a motte and also bailey castle was built in the 12th century. In the early 14th-century, the vicar was terrorised by the Coterel gang, that evicted him as well as took the church's cash at the instigation of the canons of Lichfield Cathedral. A market was established in 1254 as well as Bakewell developed 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 among minority surviving remnants of that duration. One more Grade I-listed bridge, Holme Bridge, was constructed in 1664 and crosses the Wye on the north-eastern borders of the town. A chalybeate springtime was found and also a bath house constructed in 1697. This resulted in an 18th-century bid to create Bakewell as a medspa town like Buxton. Building of Lumford Mill by Richard Arkwright in 1777 was followed by the restoring of much of the town in the 19th century.
