the following text is based on an article in Wikipedia

Osgodby is a village now in the Selby District of North Yorkshire, 2 miles (3.2 km) from the town of Selby.

Its sister village is Barlby, which lies directly to the west and with which it has, since 1974, formed the civil parish of Barlby with Osgodby.

From 1894 until 1935, Osgodby was located in Riccal Rural District. In 1935 the Riccal Rural District was abolished and its place was taken by Derwent Rural District which administered the local area until the nationwide municipal reorganization of 1974. Since 1974, Osgodby has been in the Selby District of North Yorkshire.

Historically, Osgodby was in the ecclesiastical parish of Hemingbrough in the wapentake of Ouse and Derwent.
