Bakewell Market Hall is a historic building in the town of Bakewell, in Derbyshire, in England. The building was constructed in about 1600 as the town's market hall. Originally, the ground floor was partly open to the street, and the upper floor may have been timber framed. It was altered in the 18th century, with the ground floor arcade filled in. In 1827, the town's administration and courts moved from the Old Town Hall into the upper floor, while the lower floor served as a wash house. The building was extended to the east in 1858, at which time small gables were also added. The council and courts moved into the new Bakewell Town Hall in 1890, and the building became a restaurant. Around this time, two shops were inserted on the west side of the ground floor, and in 1896, the west gable was rebuilt. Later, the building became a rating office, then a dance hall and a library, before becoming the town's tourist information centre. It was grade II listed in 1951."Market Hall".

Bakewell Castle was in the town of Bakewell, Derbyshire (grid reference SK221688). It was a motte and bailey castle. According to some sources it was built in the year 924 by Edward the Elder, who also established the main burh. The purpose of its erection appears to have been as a measure against the Mercian invasion. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Edward marched into peakland after he had fortified Nottinghamshire, and from there onward he arrived at Bakewell, and commanded that a town with a garrison be established at this location. According to other sources the castle was built in the 12th century, most probably by Ralf Gernon. According to these sources, the building that existed before the 12th century at this location was not a fortification, but a simple manor, which was awarded to Gernon by Richard I during the 12th century, and Gernon fortified the manor. This hypothesis is based on the views of M.J. Swanton, formed after their 1969 and 1971 excavations of the location which showed that the remains of pottery found in the south-eastern side of the bailey were most probably from the 12th or 13th century. Some recent sources have suggested that both theories could be correct: that the castle is a 12th-century motte built upon a Saxon burh.The castle was razed to the ground during the English Civil War. Today the only ruins that remain are certain earthworks, atop a mound that has been named as Castle Hill. The motte, which at one time may have been further fortified with a timber palisade, and its two baileys are visible, but none of the buildings remain except some foundation walls, which are now covered with vegetation; otherwise, only the earthworks remain. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
