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.
In 1771 the first map of the village was drawn, showing a cluster of buildings around Lindrick Road.
The new village hall was built in 2007,[7] it sits in the centre of the village off the recreational ground, which includes football pitches, a cricket pitch and green, cricket pavilion, and small skate park.
Rotherham Borough Council twice refused planning permission for exploration at Woodsetts with regard to shale gas hydraulic fracturing (fracking) in 2018, in March and September.
