Background
History
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.
