Osgodby Heritage & History

During 2015, some initial research on the village was undertaken, including the Wadkin/Morritt family; transcribing the 1939 Register; Census returns; the history of the Institute and newspaper articles. These were displayed at the monthly Coffee Morning to encourage people to volunteer to carry out further research into the heritage and history of the village. In September 2016, a group of volunteers formed the Osgodby Village Institute Local History Group,(working name Osgodby Heritage & History Group) a sub-Group of the Osgodby Village Institute Community Association. A successful bid was developed and in February 2018 the Heritage Lottery Fund awarded £49,500 to fund the project “The Village With A History Nun Could Guess”.
