Aubourn sits in the valley formed by the River Witham as it bends north eastwards, seven miles south of Lincoln. Several small streams flow northward into the Witham nearby, including the River Brant. The village is enclosed to the north and east by the ‘washlands’ of the Witham and has historically been prone to frequent flooding. After the last war high flood banks were built along both shores of the Witham to reduce the risk.

The story of the two churches of St Peter in Aubourn spans 600 years. The earlier church, standing in the grounds of Aubourn Hall, was erected in about 1200 on the site of an earlier wood and stone structure recorded in Doomsday. In 1862, most of the building was demolished and the stone incorporated in the building of a new, joint parish church mid-way between Aubourn and Haddington. In less than 100 years the Victorian building, also dedicated to St. Peter had deteriorated to the point that it was deemed unsafe and was partly demolished, leaving just the steeple standing beside the road to Haddington. The congregation moved back into the original church which had been restored in 1933.
