Marsett is one of three settlements in around Semer Water in Raydale, a small side dale off Wensleydale in North Yorkshire, England. Marsett is only a hamlet and lies to the south-west of the lake, at a point where a smaller side dale, Bardale, joins Raydale.
The hamlet consists of two farms and ten permanent dwellings, together with a number of holiday cottages.[1] There is also a Methodist chapel, built in 1897.[2]
The name, first recorded in 1283 as Mouressate, is from the Old Norse Maures sætr, meaning 'the shieling of a man named Maurr' (a nickname meaning 'ant').[3]
In 2016, Marsett's red telephone box was scheduled to be demolished, but following a successful campaign where local councillors pointed out that there is no mobile phone reception in the area, it was renovated instead. The phone box has also been earmarked as a possible location for a defibrillator unit.[4]
From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Richmondshire, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.
