Thorpe St Peter is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England, about 1 mile (1.6 km) north west of the town of Wainfleet.
Thorpe was mentioned in Domesday Book of 1086 when it was listed as having 33 households, two mills and a church.[1]
The parish church, dedicated to Saint Peter is a grade I listed building dating from 1200 with later additions and alterations, and restored in the 19th century. It is built of greenstone and limestone. The west tower dates from the mid-14th century, and there is an early 13th century font.[2]
Thorpe Culvert railway station was opened here in 1873.[3]
