Womersley is a small village and civil parish in the Selby district of North Yorkshire, sitting close to the border with South Yorkshire. The landscape is low-lying and largely agricultural, with drainage channels and the nearby River Went shaping the patchwork of arable fields and hedgerows; the village lies within easy reach of larger centres such as Doncaster and Pontefract, which influences its commuter and market links.
Despite its modest size, the place has a recognisable historic core – a parish church of medieval origin and a country house survive alongside stone cottages – giving a strong sense of local continuity. The economy remains rooted in farming, while community life is typical of rural parishes, centred on the village hall, parish council activity and occasional local events that reflect its quiet, village character.
