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.
