Langsett is a village and civil parish near Penistone in South Yorkshire. It lies near the southern edge of the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley and on the edge of the Peak District National Park. At the 2001 census it had a population of 161.〔(Census 2001 )〕 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.〔David Hey, ''Medieval South Yorkshire''〕 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.〔Neville T. Sharpe, ''Crosses of the Peak District'' (Landmark Collectors Library, 2002)〕 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.〔Cleal, C.J., Thomas, B.A., 1996 ''British Upper Carboniferous Stratigraphy'' Vol 11 of the Geological Conservation Review series〕 ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Langsett」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
