It is near to the A1103 and A46 two miles north-west of Market Rasen. The parish contains the small villages of Kingerby, Kirkby cum Osgodby, Osgodby itself, Usselby, and the hamlet of Bishop Bridge. To the north is North Owersby. Nearby to the west is the north-south River Ancholme. The population of the entire parish is 646.
At the time of Domesday Book the village consisted of 41 households.[1] There are medieval settlement remains, including a moat, visible as earthworks and thought to be part of Tournay Manor which was established during the 14th century. In 1424 John Tournay was given as a gift land on the south side of Osgodby, but the principal residence of the family was at Caenby.[2] During the second world war there was an army camp at Osgodby, and 60 accomdation huts were dispersed within nearby woodland. Whilst the location has been identified no trace remains today.[3] The village pub is the Crown Inn on Main Street.
