Osgodby, Lincolnshire

At the time of Domesday Book the village consisted of 41 households. 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. During the Second World War there was an army camp at Osgodby, and 60 accommodation huts were dispersed within nearby woodland. One building remains at the junction of the A46 – A1103, function unknown, and where the woods border the A1103, Westwards from the A46, many of the foundations are still visible. ==Bishopbridge==

Bishopbridge is a hamlet at the western limit of the parish of Osgodby, on the A631 and is named after the bridge that crosses the River Ancholme at this point. The hamlet consists of a public house and a few farms and houses. The settlement marks the upper limit of the navigation of the Ancholme, which was created by the River Ancholme Navigation and Drainage Act 1766 (7 Geo. 3. c. 98), which records the location as Bishop Brigys, in the '''' (43 Geo. 3. c. 64'' ) it has changed to Bishop Briggs. The navigation ends where there is a measurement weir at the gauging station that records the flow of the river. On the adjacent River Rase, another weir and gauging station measures the flow of that river. Both sites are listed as Bishopbridge. ==See also==
