		Buxton, Derbyshire was known to the Romans as Aquae Arnemetiae.

		Another famous spa, Aquae Sulis (Bath) was strongly associated with a British goddess.
		Arnemetia watched over three springs in her day - a warm one, a cold one and a chalybeate or iron-bearing one.
		Although the Virgin Mary must indeed have had a mother, the character of St Anne is almost certainly fictional and she has a great deal less right to the name of the spring than her Celtic predecessor, Arnemetia.

	Andrasta,, Arnemetia, Belatu Candus, Brigantia, Cocidus, Coventina, and Ocelus
		Arnemetia ("She Who Dwells At the Sacred Grove") was a British-Celtic water goddess.
		Her name consists of two parts, or elements, meaning 'in front of', and nemeton, 'a grove', thus the name the Romans gave their settlement can be said to mean the 'water of she who dwells against the sacred grove'.
		Now while it cannot be proved from documentary sources it is likely that either they confused Arnemetia with a Christian saint, or (most likely in my opinion) they sought to show that the goddess was really St Anne under another name.

		The Romans arrived sometime around AD 70 and finding a warm spring, founded the settlement of 'Aquae Arnemetiae' (The Waters of the Goddess of The Grove).

		Called "Aquae Arnemetiae" by the Romans who settled here around 70 AD, the spa at Buxton became well known for its healing powers, and Mary Queen of Scots visited it several times.
		There are various possibilities as to the origin of the name of Buxton: it could be Danish (Buck), Saxon (Boke), or Anglo Saxon (Buccings), but it probably refers to the fact that the area was a Royal Forest and the King's deer came to drink from the springs.

	Peak District (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		There were Roman settlements, including one at Buxton which was known to them as "Aquae Arnemetiae" in recognition of its spring, dedicated to the local goddess.
		Theories as to the derivation of the Peak District name include the idea that it came from the Pecsaetan or peaklanders, an Anglo Saxon tribe who inhabited the central and northern parts of the area from the 6th century AD when it fell within the large Anglian kingdom of Mercia.
		The Roman network is thought to have linked the settlements and forts of Aquae Arnemetiae (Buxton), Chesterfield, Ardotalia (Glossop) and Navio (Brough-on-Noe), and extended outwards to Danum (Doncaster), Manucium (Manchester) and Derventio (Little Chester, near Derby).

		At Buxton in Derbyshire, there are two springs close together on the valley-floor, each containing different mineral properties [17].
		The Romans called the site Aquae Arnemetiae (the 'Waters of Arnemetia'), so there must once have been a local goddess, Arnemetia, who presided over the sacred waters perhaps long before the Roman period.
