Facts about Ossett

General Info

Ossett forms part of the Heavy Woollen District.

History

The name Ossett derives from the Old English and is thought to be either “the fold of a man named Osla” or ” a fold frequented by blackbirds”. Ossett is sometimes misspelled as “Osset”. In Ellis’ On Early English Pronunciation, one of the founding works of British linguistics, the incorrect spelling is used. The British Library has an online dialect study that uses the spelling. One new alternative theory is that it is the place where King Osbehrt died after receiving fatal wounds when fighting the Great Heathen Army of the Vikings at York on 21 March 867. An exceedingly rare clustering of high status Anglian graves, one bearing the Anglian royal symbol of the dragon and the name Osbehrt, was found in the churchyard at Thornhill Parish Church directly across the valley from – and within sight of – Ossett.
