Bakewell Old House Museum

You can immerse yourself in the stories of Bakewell and this part of the Peak District at our award-winning museum.

Based in a Tudor building, explore the stories of the inhabitants and owners ranging from Christopher Plant, the Tudor tithe collector, Sir Richard Arkwright who housed his mill workers here, and the Pitt family who lived in one of the cottages in Victorian times.

The museum volunteers really look forward to seeing you soon!
