Trusthorpe is a small coastal village in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire, found two miles south of Mablethorpe and twelve miles north of Skegness. About a mile to the west is the hamlet of Thorpe.
The parish church, St Peter, dates from the 14th century with alterations in 1522, 1606, 1842 and 1941, and is a Grade II listed building. It is built of red brick with ashlar dressings, and the three stage tower has stepped corner buttresses. Just below the second stage is an ashlar datestone inscribed "1606 Anthone Swell." The nave dates from 1842 and the chancel from 1941; the font is 13th-century. At the east end of the nave is a wall monument to William Loft who died in 1854.[1]
In 1964 a community facility, St Peter's Community Annexe, was built to provide local information and events.
Trusthorpe windmill was originally erected at Newland, near Hull. Mr Charles Foster bought it and moved it to Trusthorpe where it was incorporated into a new mill. The post mill was demolished and replaced in 1901 when a new tower mill was built; this lasted until 1935 after which it was converted into a house.[2]
