Cabourne is a hamlet in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire, on the A46 road just over a mile east of the town of Caistor and @ from Swallow.
The parish church, St Nicholas, has a tower which dates from the 11th century: the rest of the church being 15th-century, with a restoration]] in 1872. The church is a Grade II* listed building.[1]
During restoration a Norman font was unearthed below the floor. A late 11th- or 12th-century grave marker lies against the east wall of the chancel.[2]
