==History and landmarks==
Two Bronze Age stone axes, about 4,000 years old, were found in Digby, one now in private possession, the other at Lincoln Museum.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pastscape.org.uk/hob.aspx?hob_id=349126&sort=2&rational=m&recordsperpage=60&maplat=53.07787276&maplong=-0.38983379&mapisa=5000&mapist=os&mapilo=-0.3898&mapila=53.0779&mapiloe=w&mapilan=n&mapios=TF078546&mapigrn=354650&mapigre=507850&mapipc=&p=1&move=n&nor=265&recfc=0 )〕 Also found were two Bronze Age arrowheads, again one in private possession,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pastscape.org.uk/hob.aspx?hob_id=349099&sort=2&rational=m&recordsperpage=60&maplat=53.07787276&maplong=-0.38983379&mapisa=5000&mapist=os&mapilo=-0.3898&mapila=53.0779&mapiloe=w&mapilan=n&mapios=TF078546&mapigrn=354650&mapigre=507850&mapipc=&p=1&move=n&nor=265&recfc=0 )〕 the other at Lincoln Museum〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pastscape.org.uk/hob.aspx?hob_id=351257&sort=2&rational=m&recordsperpage=60&maplat=53.07787276&maplong=-0.38983379&mapisa=5000&mapist=os&mapilo=-0.3898&mapila=53.0779&mapiloe=w&mapilan=n&mapios=TF078546&mapigrn=354650&mapigre=507850&mapipc=&p=1&move=n&nor=265&recfc=0 )〕
with a Neolithic partly polished axe also found here.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pastscape.org.uk/hob.aspx?hob_id=351266&sort=2&rational=m&recordsperpage=60&maplat=53.07787276&maplong=-0.38983379&mapisa=5000&mapist=os&mapilo=-0.3898&mapila=53.0779&mapiloe=w&mapilan=n&mapios=TF078546&mapigrn=354650&mapigre=507850&mapipc=&p=1&move=n&nor=265&recfc=0 )〕
The church is dedicated to Thomas Becket and has a porch with strong Saxon elements and carvings. Built in the Gothic style, it has a tall spire, and is Grade I listed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-437456-church-of-st-thomas-a-becket-digby )〕 There is also a circular Village lock-up which is Grade II listed,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-437458-village-lock-up-digby )〕 and a medieval stone buttercross in the centre of the village which is Grade II listed,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-437457-village-cross-digby )〕 and a scheduled monument although the top section of the pillar and cross appear to have been renewed, probably during the Victorian period. In the 1930s the churchyard was said to be haunted〔Rudkin, Ethel H.: "Lincolnshire Folklore", ''Folklore'', Vol.44, No.2, June 1933〕 The church spire was struck by lightning in August 1907 leading to repairs costing £80.
Near the village is the Royal Air Force grass airfield of RAF Digby (formerly RAF Scopwick). During the Second World War the station was home to Hurricane and Spitfire squadrons and to Douglas Bader, Guy Gibson, and poet John Gillespie Magee.〔( "Pilot Officer John Gillespie Magee, Jr. 1922 - 1941" ), Macla.co.uk. Retrieved 7 July 2013〕 The airfield was Canadian later in the war, as RCAF Digby Fighter Station, with the Operations Room and billets at nearby Blankney Hall.
