Forcett is a village in the county of North Yorkshire, England.[1][2] It lies near the border with County Durham, on the B6274 road about 8 miles south of Staindrop. Nearby villages include Eppleby, Caldwell and Aldbrough.
From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Richmondshire, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.
History
The origin of the place-name is from the Old English words ford and set meaning fold by a ford and appears as Forset in the Domesday Book of 1086.[3]
In 1367, the manor was granted to Sir Walter Urswyk by John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, Earl of Richmond, for Urswyk's valour at the Battle of Navarretta during the Hundred Years' War. Urswyk was later High Constable of Richmond Castle and Master Forester of the Forest of Bowland.
