Henry Hudson named many Arctic geographical features after patrons who financed his voyages, including Digges Sound in honor of Dudley Digges.
In 1614 Digges was re-elected MP for Tewkesbury to the Addled Parliament.

Digges's son Edward was among the "planters," who emigrated in the 1640s and became Governor of Virginia.
