Goulceby village is conjoined with the hamlet of Asterby, both marked on local road signs as one settlement, Goulceby with Asterby, although the two form separate civil parishes.
Goulceby was the birthplace of William Marwood, hangman, who invented the "long drop" system of execution.{{cite web|last=Greenwell |first=Bill |title=William Marwood |url=http://www.billgreenwell.com/lost_lives/index.php?key_id=586 |work=Lost Lives |access-date=13 October 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131006065457/http://www.billgreenwell.com/lost_lives/index.php?key_id=586 |archive-date=6 October 2013 |df=dmy-all }}

Until 2012 local democracy took the form of the 'Asterby, Goulceby & Ranby Grouped Parish Council', but at the request of the people of Ranby, it was split to form the 'Asterby & Goulceby Parish Council' and the 'Ranby Parish Meeting'.{{cite web|title=De-grouping of the Parish of Ranby from the Parishes of Asterby and Goulceby.|url=http://www.eldc.gov.uk/committee/%28S%28uv42dv2n5fo1s2ilhypspy55%29%29/documents/s16821/CommunityGovernanceReview.pdf|publisher=East Lindsey district council|access-date=13 October 2013|date=29 February 2012}}
