This engraving from circa 1860 is the work of William Sang, a printer and book seller who had premises in the market place

This photograph shows the church decorated for the harvest festival on Sunday 13th September 1868 when the box pews of earlier times and the double aisle are still in evidence.

The nave in 1873 photographed by William Redshaw and again in 1880 (below).

 This picture by an unknown photographer was taken circa 1875 and the view below is by William Redshaw from 1893 showing the newly installed stone pulpit..

This view of the church is taken from a postcard published circa 1895. The fence on which the two people are leaning was later replaced by iron palisade railings, similar to those erected in 1869 further along South Street and which survive to this day. The railings on the wall in front of The Cedars (now Bourne Eau House) on the opposite side of South Street have also gone, perhaps cut down during the Second World War during an ill-advised government drive for scrap metal for the production of munitions

The new stone pulpit can be clearly seen in these two views from circa 1895.

The church is decorated here, probably for the patronal festival, circa 1895.

The view of the Abbey Church above is from a picture postcard published circa 1900 and the three photographs below are reproduced from a pictorial guide published in the same year.

The west front of the Abbey Church photographed for the book Historic Bourne by Asbhy Swift and published by Joseph J Davies in 1909. In the book, Davies speculates that the church was founded by the Saxons in the 8th century but this church was destroyed in one of the raids by Danish invaders and that the present building, founded by Baldwin Fitzgilbert in 1138, was inspired by an act of piety by the zeal of a famous neighbour, Gilbert of Sempringham, who was subsequently "honoured for his high courage in God's service, for his learning, humility, and for his success in the institution of the only purely English monastic order".
