This article appears in Volume V04, Page 332 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BOS-BRI
BOURNE, or BOURN , a market town in the S. Kesteven or Stamford parliamentary division of Lincolnshire, England; lying in a fenny
district
  95 m. N. by W. from London. Pop. of urban
district
  (1901) 4361. The Stamford-Sleaford branch of the
Great
  Northern railway here crosses the Saxby-Lynn
joint
  line of the
Great
  Northern and Midland companies. The church of St Peter and St Paul is Norman and Early English with later insertions; it is part of a monastic church belonging to a foundation of Augustinian canons of 1138, of which the other buildings have almost wholly disappeared. Trade is principally agricultural. Bourne is famous through its connexion with the ardent opponent of William the Conqueror, Hereward the
Wake
 . Of his castle very slight traces remain. Bourne was also the birthplace of the Elizabethan statesman Cecil, Lord Burghley. The Red
Hall
 , which now forms part of the railway station buildings, belonged to the family of Digby, of whom Sir Everard Digby was executed in 'nob for his connexion with the Gunpowder Plot.
