Pega (died c. 719), the sister of St Guthlac of Crowland, had her cell sited here. The privately owned, Grade-II-listed St Pega's Hermitage is possibly on the site.

It is said that Pega's heart was kept as a relic in the church, contained in a heart stone, the broken remains of which, smashed by Cromwell's troops, can be seen in the south aisle window.
