Goadby

Goadby is a village and civil parish in the Harborough district of Leicestershire, England, about 8 miles north of Market Harborough. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 43. Goadby has a Church of England church, with services held on the first Sunday of every month. The church is part of a group of churches ministered to from Billesdon.

Goadby has no industry, and is notable chiefly for its stud farm, at which the celebrated race horse Desert Orchid was foaled.

Goadby's name, with the "-by" suffix, indicates that it is of Danish origin.
