Bourne has an interesting history of its own

HEREWARD THE WAKE (flourished 1070) lead the Saxon uprising against the invaders after the Norman Conquest of 1066

WILLIAM CECIL (1520-1598) became the first Lord Burghley after serving Queen Elizabeth I for forty years

CHARLES WORTH (1825-1895) was born in this town, the son of a local solicitor who lived at Wake House in North Street which survives today as a community centre. He left Bourne when still a boy to seek his fortune in Paris where he became a world renowned designer of women's fashion and the founder of haute couture. His reputation was such that the French government awarded him the Legion of Honour and when he died, 2,000 people, including the President of the Republic, attended his funeral.

RAYMOND MAYS (1899-1980), son of a local businessman, achieved fame in the world of international motor racing, both on and off the track. After a successful career as a driver, he opened workshops in Bourne where he developed the BRM.
