Osbaldwick
Osbaldwick (/ˈɒzbəldwɪk/ OZ-bəld-wick) is a village and civil parish in the unitary authority of the City of York in North Yorkshire, England. The population of the civil parish as taken at the 2011 census was 2,902. It has been in existence since at least the 11th century, and was declared a conservation area in 1978. It is the burial place of the nun Mary Ward.
It is mentioned three times in the Domesday Book as Osboldewic. It is named after Osbald, a short-lived king of Northumbria. At that time the manor was assessed with the city of York and the lands held by the Church of St Peter, York. It was the first Norman Archbishop of York that created the office of Prebend of Osbaldwick. The earliest mention of an incumbent of this office was of Richard le Brun in 1270. The office was de facto lord of the manor of the village. In 1852, the Church was allowed to sell off land and Osbaldwick Manor was sold to a Thomas Samuel Watkinson, later the Lord Mayor of York.
The village was historically part of the North Riding of Yorkshire until 1974. It was then a part of the district of Ryedale in North Yorkshire from 1974 until 1996. Since 1996 it has been part of the City of York unitary authority.
The village is within the York Outer UK Parliament constituency. It is also part of the Osbaldwick and Derwent Ward within York Unitary Authority.
Osbaldwick is generally considered a suburb of York, about 2 miles (3.2 km) east of the city. The village proper lies mostly along one street called Osbaldwick Village. Newer housing surrounds this, and Osbaldwick is now effectively bounded on three sides by the A1079 to the south, the A64 (that forms part of York's ring road) to the east and by green-belt land to the north. To the west, newer housing merges into the Tang Hall district.
Small industrial and trading estates exist to the east of the village (heading towards Murton), and along Osbaldwick Link Road which links it to the A1079. A 2006 housing development known as Murton Gardens was built by Wimpey Homes on the link road on the site of a farm building and surrounding fields. A larger development known as Derwenthorpe was granted planning permission on 10 May 2007 for the green-belt land north of the village. Some farmland also exists between Osbaldwick and Murton.
Osbaldwick Beck runs through the village and is part of the tributary system of the River Foss.
The 1881 UK census recorded the population as 340. According to the 2001 UK census the parish had a population of 2,726, of whom 2,299 were over the age of sixteen years and 1,115 of those were in employment. There were 1,200 dwellings of which 364 were detached.
