*************

Wensley is a small village and civil parish in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, England. It is situated on the A684 road and approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) south-west from Leyburn. The River Ure passes through the village.

Wensley gives its name to the dale Wensleydale.

For a century after its charter in 1202, Wensley had the only market in the dale and this continued into the 16th century. Plague struck Wensley in 1563, some surviving villagers fled to Leyburn, but the village recovered a century later when Charles Paulet built Bolton Hall in 1678 and became Duke of Bolton.[citation needed] The present Bolton Hall is a rebuild after a fire in 1902.[1]

Wensley's Holy Trinity Church dates to 1300 and is a Grade I listed building. It is featured as the wedding venue of James and Helen Herriot in the British television series All Creatures Great and Small, in the episode ""The Last Furlong"".

Wensley's railway station is now closed. It was situated 1 mile to the north between Wensley and Preston-under-Scar, on the Wensleydale Railway line which still passes the village.
