Description: Located at All Saints Church. There was a Saxon church in Bakewell in 920 and the churchyard is home to two 9th century Saxon crosses - a large somewhat damaged one in an enclosure on the north-east side of the church and a smaller, better preserved stump just to the east of the entrance. In and around the church porch there are many fine carved fragments of Saxon stonework found during restoration work in the 1840s and some ancient stone coffins. The present church was started in late Norman style in the 12th century but only the West front and part of the North and South arcades of the nave survive from this period; the rest was built from 1220-40, with the spire added in 1340. A drastic renovation in the 1840s was almost a rebuilding - the spire, which was in danger of collapse, was completely rebuilt along with the central portion of the church.
