The Abbey Lawn at Bourne, Lincolnshire
The Abbey Lawn at Bourne, Lincolnshire
The former meadowland in Abbey Road originally formed part of the grounds of Bourne Abbey and has been used for recreation for over 200 years but was bought by Bourne United Charities on behalf of the people in 1931 to be preserved as an open space in perpetuity. Since then, there has been a continuous programme of maintenance and improvement for both the sports playing areas and the outdoor swimming pool which is part of the complex while this section in the shadow of the Abbey Church is used by Bourne Cricket Club and is reckoned to be one of the finest grounds in Lincolnshire.
