The Inner
Wheel Club of Bourne was chartered in 1991 and currently has 21 members. They meet on the second Monday of the month (except
December) at The Toft House Hotel, Toft near Bourne at 7.30pm.
Bourne
dates back to Saxon times, lying on the edge of the old forest of
Rockingham. Set in agricultural
Lincolnshire, Bourne is twinned with Doudeville in Normandy, France.
One of Bourne’s claims to fame rests with the BRM racing cars which
were built here. Graham Hill won his
Formula 1 Grand Prix World Championship in 1962 driving a BRM.
Another claim to fame is that Bourne is the birthplace of Charles Frederick Worth, son of a local solicitor and founder of the famous Paris fashion house. He was born in Wake House on 13 October 1825.
