Roxby stands on a prominent part of the Lincoln Cliff and overlooks the Humber Estuary.

[2] Roxby Grade I listed Anglican church is dedicated to St Mary.

Later excavations by the Humberside Archaeology Unit concluded that the mosaic was part of an aisled structure with the mosaic forming the flooring for a suite of rooms at one end of the villa which may have been up to 22 yards (20 m) wide and 55 yards (50 m) long.

[citation needed] Although no railway line runs directly to Roxby, a major landfill site is situated a few miles away in a disused ironstone quarry.

This is served by the remnants of the North Lindsey Light Railway over which trainloads of household rubbish were transported in containers from various locations in the Greater Manchester area.
