Peakirk ("Pega's church") is named after St. Pega, who lived from circa 673 to circa 719. The sister of St. Guthlac, she belonged to one of the noble families of Mercia and lived in Peakirk, not far from the hermitage established by her brother at Crowland. St. Pega, who is depicted on the village sign, died while on a pilgrimage to Rome. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pega
