The town stands at the foot of a hill, on the river Wye, adjacent to the Buxton railway, 11 miles W by S of Chesterfield. Its name is a corruption of Bath-well, originally Bath-quelle; and was derived from a mineral well, used for the supply of baths, and supposed to have been in repute prior to the year 924. The manor of it was known to the Saxons under the name of Badecanwylla; probably had a Roman station, and certainly had a castle of Edward the Elder, on Castle-hill, on the road to Chatsworth; was given at the Conquest to the family of Peveril; passed to successively the Gernons and the Vernons; and belongs now to the Duke of Rutland. The town is clean and pleasant; exults in picturesque environs; and is much visited by strangers, both for its own sake, and for sake of the splendid neighbouring scenery.
