Bakewell
Bakewell is a small market town and civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, known for a regional confection, Bakewell pudding. It pushes the River Wye, about 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 visitor attractions of Chatsworth House and also Haddon Hall. Although there is evidence of earlier settlements in the location, Bakewell itself was probably founded in Anglo Saxon times, when Bakewell remained in the Anglian kingdom of Mercia. The name Bakewell indicates a spring or stream of a man named Badeca (or Beadeca) as well as stems 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 Church Church, a Grade I detailed building, was founded in 920 as well as has a 9th-century cross in the cemetery. The here and now church was built in the 12th-- 13th centuries yet was practically rebuilt in the 1840s by William Flockton. By Norman times Bakewell had actually acquired some value: the community and its church (having two priests) 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, who evicted him and also confiscated the church's cash at the instigation of the canons of Lichfield Cathedral. A market was developed 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 also is among minority enduring remnants of that period. An additional Grade I-listed bridge, Holme Bridge, was constructed in 1664 and crosses the Wye on the north-eastern borders of the community. A chalybeate spring was discovered as well as a bath house constructed in 1697. This resulted in an 18th-century bid to create Bakewell as a medical spa community in the manner of Buxton. Construction of Lumford Mill by Richard Arkwright in 1777 was followed by the rebuilding of much of the town in the 19th century.
