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.
