One of the oldest public houses in Bourne is the Burghley Arms in the town centre, formerly the market place. The building was originally a private residence before becoming a coaching inn known as the Bull, a name which persisted until 1955 when it was changed to the Burghley Arms in honour of the illustrious Elizabethan statesman William Cecil, trusted adviser to Queen Elizabeth I and the first Lord Burghley, who was born there in 1520 and a plaque on the front wall records this event.
