| commentary: |
This is a clapper bridge with slabs of sandstone across the stream, with a
central stone pier. The bridge was also thte sluice for the mill pond, and the
slots for the sluice hatches or paddles, and rope marks, can be seen in the
slabs. The mill was an iron mill established by the Montagues of Cowdray, 1573;
probably having furnace, forge, and water powered hammers; it remained in use to
the 1730s. The bridge carries a footpath between Oak Tree Lane and Hammer Lane;
standing in three counties. |
