Langsett is a village and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England. It lies on the edge of the Peak District National Park. At the 2001 census it had a population of 161,[1] increasing to 222 at the 2011 Census.[2]
The name Langsett derives from the Old English langsīde meaning "long hill slope".[3]
In the early medieval period, Langsett was known as Penisale. It held a royal charter entitling it to hold a weekly market on Tuesdays and an annual three-day fair, but these were held somewhere in the country rather than in the village itself. The market charter was later used to start a market in Penistone.[4]
A tradition associates the location of Penisale market with a cross near the junction of Cross Lane and Hartcliffe Road. This theory is rejected by Neville T. Sharpe, who holds that this was a wayside cross used as a guide by travellers.[5]
In chronostratigraphy, the British sub-stage of the Carboniferous period, the 'Langsettian' derives its name from a study of geological exposures in the banks of the Little Don River near Langsett.[6]
Langsett was historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire in the Wapentake of Staincross, an area that almost corresponds with the modern day Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley.[7]
The Peak District Boundary Walk runs through the village.[8]
