BoAr: Bourne Abbey: home Latest edit 16 Jul 2008
Bourne Abbey was
a small house of Arrouaisian canons, founded in 1138 and dissolved in 1536 but
the building also housed the parish church. For this reason, much of the
building remains and has a story to tell of events which have happened in and
around it. Some can be found by the skills of historians, in written documents;
others need to be read from the building by archaeological interpretation. When
put together, the two sets of information tell a surprisingly full story.
