Osbournby is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of North Kesteven, in Lincolnshire, England, lying a few miles south of the market town of Sleaford. Set amid the arable fields and quiet lanes of the Lincolnshire countryside, it has the compact feel of many fen-edge communities; the village name, ending in -by, hints at Norse settlement in the area and a long local history reflected in a mix of older cottages and Victorian-era buildings.
Local life is shaped by agriculture and a close-knit community, with village amenities and events around the hall, church and pub, while many residents commute to nearby centres such as Sleaford, Lincoln or Grantham for work and services. The setting makes it popular for country walks and for people seeking a quieter base within easy reach of larger towns.
