The Author has looked through Leland’s “Itinerary”’ 
as likely to furnish information with reference to 
Bourne flows. This ‘“ Itinerary” was begun about the 
year 1538. There is only one reference to a Bourne flow, 
and that was the Bourne at Drelingore near Dover in 
Kent, and which has been flowing for a short time this 
year. In the third edition, volume 7, page 127, it is 
stated that: ‘‘Ther is also a great spriny at a place 
cawlled . . . . . and that ones in a vi or vii 
Yeres brasteth owt so abundantly, that a great part of the 
water cummeth into Dovar Streme, but els yt renneth 
yn to the Se betwyxt Dovar and Folchestan, but nearer 
to Folchestan, that is to say withyn a ii Myles of yt.” 
In a book called ‘¢ A Topographe or Survey of the 
County of Kent,” by Richard Kilburne of Hawkhurst, 
published in 1659, under the head of Langley there is 
a statement that: “In the year 1472 in the park in 
this parish did newly break out the bourne or spring 
there.” Under the head of Leusham* it is stated that 
“at this parish (in the year 1472) a great spring newly 
break out.”
