The Road

 

In the eighteenth century the roads were little better than when the Romans left Britain.  The river bridge at the south of the village actually appears to be constructed in two halves.  The east side looks older, presumably it was widened on the west.  The white railings were added in the 1900s after a drunk fell into the river and drowned!

 

 

In recent times the road has been straightened (1950’s). The old course is behind Herons Reach.  19th century Parish records have reference to road repairs organised.
