Among the oldest domestic buildings in Bourne is Monkstone House in West Street, the rear part dating from 1620 while the red brick frontage with ashlar quoins was erected in the mid-18th century and the original doorway incorporating a broken pediment and fanlight still graces the main entrance. This handsome Grade II two-storey building was home in past times to the town’s more affluent citizens but is now used as an Indian restaurant.
