History
Neolithic and Romano-British archaeological finds indicate a long history of habitation. Two mosaic floors of a possible Roman villa were found at Sturton Farm in 1816.
Scawby is mentioned seven times in the Domesday Book of 1086, as "Scallebi" or "Scalebi", with a total of 34 households.
Scawby Hall is thought to date from 1603, with an 18th-century frontage and windows, and 19th-century crenellations.
Scawby Mill, a brick-built tower mill, was opened about 1829, but the present tower was built as part of a house after the original tower collapsed during renovation work in 1994.
Scawby railway station, to the south of the village, opened in 1848, and closed 120 years later. The line is still open.
The church of St Hybald is dedicated to a 7th-century Saxon of that name. It is built in the Early English style, but was substantially rebuilt in 1843 by William Adams Nicholson, and in 1870 by James Fowler of Louth. The tower is original, of the 15th century, with 13th-century work at the base.
There was a Methodist chapel in the village until August 2012. The Barton and Brigg circuit still operates a chapel in nearby Hibaldstow.
