Trusthorpe is a small village on the east coast of England. It is in the county of Lincolnshire and is 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Mablethorpe and 12 miles (19 km) north of Skegness. It forms part of the parish of Mablethorpe and Sutton, and about 1 mile (1.6 km) to the west is the hamlet of Thorpe.
The church is dedicated to Saint Peter and is Grade II listed, dating from the 14th century with alterations in 1522, 1606, 1842 and 1941. It is built of red brick with ashlar dressings, and the three stage tower has stepped corner buttresses, and just below the second stage is an ashlar datestone inscribed "1606 Anthone Swell." The nave dates from 1842, the chancel 1941, and the font dates from 13th century. At the east end of the nave is a wall monument to William Loft who died in 1854.[1]
Trusthorpe CE School was built in 1856 in memory of William Loft, as a National School. It closed on 21 December 1927.[2]
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, which lasted until 1935 and was then converted into a house.[3]
