The Five Bells at Morton, near Bourne, Lincolnshire
The Five Bells at Morton, near Bourne, Lincolnshire
The Five Bells public house stands next to the parish church at Morton and it is this association that gave the hostelry its name because it is within the sound of the bells of St John the Baptist Church. Many English villages have an inn named the Bell, four, five, six – in fact bells in all numbers up to twelve are numerous. The church at Morton did indeed have five bells when this inn was built two centuries ago but a sixth was added in 1892.
