Stalling Busk is one of three settlements around Semer Water in the former Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire in the small dale of Raydale just off from Wensleydale, England.
[2][3] The name of the settlement derives from a combination of Old French (estalon) and Old Norse (buskr), which means the stallion's bush.
[5] Although the village is not mentioned in the Domesday Book, archaeological evidence points to the area being inhabited during the Iron and Bronze ages.
[6] As well as the Grade II listed St Matthew's Church,[7] Stalling Busk has the ruined Old St Matthew's Church, that is also Grade II listed,[8] which can be found on a short walk towards Semer Water.
In St Matthew's Church graveyard, is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission burial plot.
