All Saint's Church, Bakewell; a nice church with ancient relics and tombs, and a Saxon Cross in the churchyard. Also bonus flush bracket on the eastern face.

All Saints' Church, Bakewell. A beautiful Grade I listed building. All good with the spire, and there is a flush bracket next to the boiler room door. Around the corner, on Yeld Road, is the Bakewell Cemetery, the scene of the tragic murder of Wendy Sewell on the 12th September 1973. The cemetery groundskeeper, Stephen Downing, was wrongly convicted of the murder, and spent 27 years in prison in one of the UK's biggest ever miscarriages of justice. His conviction was finally overturned by the Court of Appeal in 2002, after a long campaign by the editor of the Matlock Mercury, Don Hale, to clear him.

The church can be found slightly elevated from the town centre, the lofty spire cannot be missed and is a guiding beacon. In the "old" days I visit here every week for my Appalacian dancing group. How I miss it....tippy tapping. So glum, but people who were supposed to be walking the LDWA 100 this weekend, will be even more glummer. The 3 trigs today are for you.

An impressive chuch at the top of church lane. looks like some renovation is taking place around the chuch at the moment. http://www.peakdistrictinformation.com/visits/bakewellch.php 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 (which was found at a local farm and re-sited here) 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. Bakewell was the town of the Vernon (and later the Manners) family and the church has some interesting relics of them, plus a fine 14th century font. In the Vernon Chapel off the South aisle there are some magnificent tombs: that of Sir Thomas Wendesley, who was killed in the battle of Shrewsbury in 1403; of John Vernon of Haddon Hall, who died in 1477; and of Sir George Vernon and his two wives. Sir George, who was known as the 'King of the Peak', died in 1567, but his chief claim to fame is now as the father of Dorothy Vernon, who famously eloped from Haddon Hall with Sir John Manners - they also have a monument at the South end of the chapel, while at the opposite end there is a monument to their son, George Manners and his wife Grace. Outside the chapel is a much smaller but very beautiful monument: - that of Sir John Foljambe (died 1377) and his wife, carved in alabaster.

All Saints. Light and spacious interior, apparently designed by George Gilbert Scott junior (son of he of Midland Hotel St Pancras, and of St Michael and all Angels Leafield, both qv). Some amazing 16th century tombs and screens in the side chapel which is now a tea shop, and two Anglo-Saxon crosses in the graveyard.
