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]

About the village

An 1830 Grade II listed octagonal pump house exists here.[3]

Pelham's Pillar is a 128 ft high Grade II listed tower, dating from 1840-49 by E. J. Willson. A plaque above the door commemorates Charles Anderson Pelham, Lord Yarborough who planted 12,532,700 trees in Cabourne High Wood between 1787 and 1828.[4] The column was begun by Pelham's son in 1840, and completed by his grandson in 1849.[5]
