Welcome to Bourne, Lincolnshire

Bourne is a small historic market town, suitated in the heart of south Lincolnshire, which is renowned for its waterways, open spaces, parks, and woodland. This makes way for a pleasant and idyllic setting that is both distinguished and uninterrupted.

The Bourne Abbey Church

The town originated from a Roman road from which it was built upon, and also from the exceptionally fine-quality water supply derived locally from natural springs. The name “Bourne” is a common name for a settlement and derives from the Anglo-Saxon meaning “water” or “stream”. 

The Bourne Town Sign

At the present time Bourne is a bustling market town with many amenities, including a leisure centre, outdoor swimming pool, snooker and sports bar, restaurants, gyms, public houses, a fully equipped theatre, and a good range of shops and businesses.

The town is fortunate to have four outstanding schools, including the reputable Bourne Grammar School, renowned for its excellent standard of education and commitment to learning.
