The Sign
The village sign is located close to the now redundant church of All Saints (now a private residence) and was first erected in 1991. The village sign has four main features:

The rising sun in the background

The Name and Population
The population was 126 at the 2011 census. It was called De(ben)beis / Depebecs in The Domesday Book of 1086. The name is pronounced 'Debitch' and means "The ridge or valley near the Deope river", which may have once served the river Deben, taken from Old English.

The author Ronald Blythe wrote the book Akenfield while living in Debach in 1966-7 and mentions the village - "a tiny parish of some eighty souls" - in the preface to the book.

Debach was the birthplace and home of Jimmy "Holy Jim" Knights (1882–1981), a singer of traditional East Anglian folk and music hall songs, whose renditions of such tunes were recorded by collectors of traditional music performances when he was more than 90 years old in the 1970s.
