Scawby is a village and civil parish in North Lincolnshire, England. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 2,277. It is located 3 miles (4.8 km) south west of Brigg just off the A15 and A18. Sturton was formerly a separate hamlet a little to the south of Scawby, but development of the land between the two has incorporated the settlement into the main village. Scawby Brook, situated to the east just outside Brigg, is also partly within the parish.
The church of St Hybald is dedicated to a 7th century Saxon of that name. There is an old school building next to the church, a village pump and a telephone box. The village also has a post office and village shop, a primary school, The Sutton Arms public house, a fish and chip shop and a newsagent.
Scawby 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.
The village is noted for the Nelthorpe family who owned the manor and lived at Scawby Hall.[1] Sir John Nelthorpe founded Brigg Grammar School in 1669.
