Dent Marble is a highly polished form of limestone which occurs in the Dentdale district of Cumbria in England.

Dent Marble has been used for staircases, floors and hearths in railway stations and large buildings in England, Australia and Russia.

[1] The stone used for processing was quarried at Artengill, Dent Head, Great Coum and Rise Hill,[2] though it has been identified as occurring at Garsdale, Gawthrop and Sedbergh.

[2] The hamlet saw an increase in population, with a special mention in census returns detailing the numbers involved.

[11][12] Exporting the marble from Dentdale was difficult, and had to be done by pack-horse trains to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal at Gargrave.

[20] Often, these would be put together for flooring to produce a chequered pattern, with large amounts being exported to Australia.
