A church has been recorded at Scremby since the time of the 1086 Domesday Survey. Between 2017 and 2018, archaeological excavations nearby revealed a 5th to 6th century Anglo Saxon cemetery containing a range of grave goods that included jewellery, combs, shields and other weapons. These were discovered in 24 graves containing the remains of men and women.

The present church was built in 1773. Noteworthy features are the three east windows which were made by O'Connor in 1861. The organ is reputed to have been made by John Snetzler in 1775. Wall monuments within the church remember members of the Brackenbury family.

St Peter & St Paul has a delightful and well kept churchyard with lovely views on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds.
