St Peter and St Paul Church[1] is the parish church of the town of Caistor in Lincolnshire, England.[2] It is dedicated to Saint Peter and Paul the Apostle and is a Grade I listed building. It is located on Church Street and to the west of the town centre. The tower is a prominent landmark in the town.[3]
The site of the church has been occupied since the 7th century and the present church dates back to around the 11th century.[4] The church was given a Grade I listing by Historic England in 1966.
The church serves as a local landmark and place of worship and community gatherings.[5]
The church houses, in a glass case, a whip 6 feet long with a lash of 7 ft 1 in, attached to which is a purse which previously contained 30 silver coins (one penny of Edward I remains), and three pieces of wych elm wood (originally four). This was used in a ceremony on each Palm Sunday until 1846, in connection with a tenancy agreement for a property in Broughton.[6]
