Wallingford Bridge
Hob Uid: 241829
Location : Oxfordshire South Oxfordshire Wallingford
Grid Ref : SU6100089460
Summary : A stone bridge, originally 13th century in date but has had later repairs in the 16th, 18th and 19th centuries. Scheduled.
More information : (SU 6100 8946) The present stone bridge at Wallingford replaced a wooden structure in the 13th century. It was extensively repaired in 1530 using stone from Trinity Priory Church (SU 68 NW 7). Four arches were removed and wooden drawbridges substituted during the siege of the Castle (SU 68 NW 17) in 1646, and these were not replaced until 1751. In 1809 flood damage necessitated the rebuilding of the three principal arches, and at the same time the bridge was widened by 7 feet along the north side. (See G.P. AO/63/150/7). (1)
