In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Gearstones like this:
GEARSTONES, a hamlet in Ingleton township, Bentham parish, W. R. Yorkshire; near the source of the river Ribble, 11 miles NW of Settle. It has a small inn; and is a humble centre for tourists exploring the fine circumjacent scenery.
Gearstones is now part of NORTH YORKSHIRE Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how NORTH YORKSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Gearstones itself, go to Statistics.
