Inside the Town Hall at Bourne, Lincolnshire

The Town Hall at Bourne was built in 1821 as the centre for local affairs and the dispensation of justice through the petty and quarter sessions, a role which continued until court sittings were phased out in April 2008. South Kesteven District Council had offices there and Bourne Town Council continued to meet there until March 2013 when all council services were transferred to a new Community Access Point established at the Corn Exchange. The future of the Grade II listed building now remains uncertain and although Lincolnshire County Council claims ownership, it is unable to proceed with declared plans to sell the building because it was originally financed by public subscription and therefore ownership is vested in the people.
