All Saints Church
Hob Uid: 311218
Location : Derbyshire Derbyshire Dales Bakewell
Grid Ref : SK2155968479
Summary : Norman to late 14th or early 15th century. A collegiate foundation on earlier Saxon church of which traces remain. Restored mid and late 19th century. The church is cruciform but irregular, embattled with a central tower, octagon and spire. Rich in monuments, and has a valuable and extensive collection of early sepulchural stones housed in the porch dating from the Saxon period to the 13th century. The church originated as a minster on a royal estate, and presumably before Edward the Elder fortified Bakewell in 920. Even in the Middle Ages it still controlled an enormous parish.
More information : [SK 21556847] Ch. [T.U.] (1) All Saints Church, Bakewell, is Norman with 13th.c. and 14th.c. additions. In the church is a collection of at least 36 pre-Conquest carved stones, as well as carved fragments of Norman and 13th.c. date. The stones had been used as building material and were found when the Norman church was demolished c. 1842. They must have been collected from many sites round Bakewell and a large number of crosses are represented. The fragments in the south porch have always remained here, but those at the west end of the church were removed to Sheffield Museum and later returned, two stones only remaining in Sheffield. [Article contains 38 listed stones with descriptions and probable dating.] (2-3) The church is in normal use. For cross fragments see G.P.s AO/66/26/2.
