Bourne End

Bourne End became a separate parish in 1915, having been part of Sunnyside, which itself only became a separate parish in 1909, having been previously part of the parish of Northchurch.

Part of the village has been included in Bovingdon.

Bourne End, 1 mile W. from Boxmoor Station, L&N W R, contains little more than an inn, a coffee-room, and a few cottages standing beside the Grand Junction Canal.

BOURNE END: St. John C of E. 1854. Designed by George Gilbert Scott. The little flint church, set below the level of the road, is another with a modern apse: on the roof is Scott's version of the spike, although its shape qualifies it to earn the alternative name of "Snuffer".
