Bakewell

Bakewell (Badequelle in Domesday), a parish and market-town in Derbyshire, on the W. bank of the river Wye, 2 miles above its junction with the Derwent, and 23 miles N.N.W. of Derby. The town existed in 924, and the Gothic church of All Saints was founded about that period. There is also a very ancient grammar school. Its name is derived from a chalybeate spring, which is still used by invalids. The neighbourhood is most picturesque, and contains Chatsworth, the seat of the Duke of Devonshire, and Haddon Hall, the now deserted house of the Manners family.
