DERBYSHIRE SUPERSTARS - Robert Bakewell (1682 – 1752) was an English smith. He took an apprenticeship in London as an iron worker and became an extremely skilled ironsmith. Working from his Blacksmiths yard in Derby he created some of the best examples of ironwork the world has ever seen. Examples of his work can be seen at Derby Cathedral, where he made the wrought iron rood screen and the gates at the west door. There are also wrought iron gates by Bakewell at the Derby Industrial Museum, and ironwork by him in a number of churches in Derbyshire towns and villages: Alvaston, Ashbourne, Borrowash, Duffield, Etwall, Foremark, Radbourne. In Leicestershire at Staunton Harold church, a metal screen by Bakewell can be seen.
