Bourne

The building we see today is the parish church of St Peter and St Paul, better known locally as Bourne Abbey, and was founded by the Lord of the Manor, Baldwin Fitzgilbert, in the 12th century. It was neither large nor wealthy but it was Norman and impressive and dates from circa 1138.

Bourne

Bourne Eau is a short river which rises in the town of Bourne in Lincolnshire, England, and flows in an easterly direction to join the River Glen at Tongue End. It is an embanked river, as its normal level is higher than that of the surrounding Fens. It was navigable in the 18th and 19th century, but now forms an important part of the drainage system that enables the surrounding fen land to be used for agriculture.

Bourne

Chapel of Rest , Bourne Cemetery . In 1854 at Bourne, the Burial Board decided to invite a select number of architects to submit plans for two chapels in a single building and a lodge . The design selected by the Burial Board on 15 February 1854 was by Edward Browning, who had recently drawn up plans for a similar cemetery chapel in Stamford. Edward Browning (1816-1882) was the son of the Stamford architect Bryan Browning (1773-1856), who designed Bourne Town Hall . Edward became a successful architect in his own right . There are around 30 Listed buildings attributed to him or associated with him, including the stone bridge erected over the River Welland at Stamford in 1849 . In Bourne, he was chosen from a select list to design a chapel that combined the requirements of the Anglican and the Nonconformist communities . The two chapels are combined in an L-shape . Construction began in July 1854, and the Anglican chapel was consecrated in May 1855.
