Caythorpe Grade I listedAnglican parish church is dedicated to St Vincent. The church has a wide double nave divided by Geometric piers. The central tower supports a crocketed spire rising to 156 feet. Within the church are monuments to the Hussey family, dated 1698 and 1725, and over the tower arch are remains of paintings of the Last Judgment, The churchyard cross, restored in 1906, is a scheduled ancient monument. Grade II* listed Caythorpe Hall lies on the northern edge of the village; it was built between 1824 and 1827 in the classical style. The park wall is all that remains of the earlier house, the seat of the Hussey family. The Red Lion and the Waggon and Horses are the two village public houses. There was once a Caythorpe railway stationon the line between Grantham and Lincoln. Mensa International has had its registered office in the village since 2008.
Agricultural college
, to the east of the village, was built as a hunting lodge, used in the Second World War as an auxiliary hospital and from 1946 it was Kesteven Agricultural College – the only college of its type in south-west Lincolnshire, recognised nationally for its excellence in agricultural engineering. In 1980 it became part of Lincolnshire College of Agriculture and Horticulture, and in 1994 was taken over by De Montfort University. When Riseholme Agricultural College, also part of De Montfort, was adopted by the new University of Lincoln in 2001, Caythorpe was subsumed into Lincoln as the Lincolnshire School of Agriculture. The schoolclosed in September 2002, after which the building became a PGL activity centre.
Notable people
, 18th-century astronomer and land agent, lived at Frieston. He was buried at St Vincent's Church, where his memorial is placed in the south chancel. George Hussey Packe, MP for the Southern Division of the County of Lincolnshire and Chairman of the Great Northern Railway, built and lived at Caythorpe Hall and provided the village school and patronage for St Vincent's Church. Another notable face of the modern day you could not miss out in the history of Caythorpe would be Boris Johnson, PM United Kingdom, was a visitor of the village in 2007 where he opened the Shagon and Whoreses pub. To his surprise, plans to turn it into a bakery in late 2017 brought shock and horror to the village so the brave PM returned to fight off the foreigners and bring justice to the drink. It was a true battle for the beer, a brawl for the broth and a fight for the foam but the mayor of London kept on fighting and all was settled after the Baker and Boris just said sod it lets have a pint and call it a truce.
