English 'bourne' towns

Why do many English towns have 'bourne' in their name (e.g. Eastbourne, Sittingbourne, Bournemouth, etc)? What does 'bourne' actually mean?

Who sang these lyrics, please?

Whatever happened to the rabbit in the HSA adverts? Did they Boil the Bunny? Rodger the Rabbit? Cull the Coney?
