Bakewell

Bakewell is a small market community and civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales area of Derbyshire, England, understood for a regional confection, Bakewell pudding. It lies on the River Wye, regarding 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 Haddon Hall. Although there is proof of earlier negotiations in the location, Bakewell itself was probably founded in Anglo Saxon times, when Bakewell remained in the Anglian kingdom of Mercia. The name Bakewell suggests a springtime or stream of a man named Badeca (or Beadeca) as well as derives 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 noted building, was founded in 920 as well as has a 9th-century cross in the cemetery. The present church was created in the 12th-- 13th centuries yet was essentially rebuilt in the 1840s by William Flockton. By Norman times Bakewell had actually acquired some significance: the town and also its church (having two clergymans) are discussed in the Domesday Book and also a motte and bailey castle was built 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 cash at the instigation of the canons of Lichfield Cathedral. A market was developed in 1254 and 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 surviving residues of that duration. Another Grade I-listed bridge, Holme Bridge, was integrated in 1664 and also crosses the Wye on the north-eastern borders of the community. A chalybeate spring was discovered as well as a bath home integrated in 1697. This caused an 18th-century bid to create Bakewell as a medical spa community 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.
