Woodsetts is a village and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham in South Yorkshire, England, on the border with Nottinghamshire. It lies between the towns of Dinnington and Worksop at an elevation of around 60 metres above sea level, and has a population of 1,746 at the 2011 Census.[1] The village originated as a medieval farming hamlet of the manor of Anston, nestled amongst the ancient woodland of which a few patches remain. The village grew rapidly in the late 19th century when a colliery was sunk at Dinnington.[2] The village now serves as a commuter base for travellers between nearby towns.
