Seamer is a village and
North Yorkshire County Council estimated had dropped to 560 by 2015.[3]
Its name is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Semer(s),[4] with later medieval attestations including Samara.[5] The first element is Old English sǣ 'lake'; the spelling of the second element suggests variation between Old English mere 'sea', Old English mersc 'marsh', and Old Norse marr 'lake, sea, pool'. The dominant meaning of the name therefore seems to have been 'lake by the sea'.[6]
This rural village supports a small farming community. There are two churches in the village, a Methodist chapel
