Full Description

2010: An archaeological monitoring and building recording was carried out at Church Bridge, Boxford. Documentary research indicated that there has been a bridge at Boxford from at least the early part of the fifteenth century and that it had stone piers and brick abutments. This has been confirmed by the building recording survey which identified the stone-built support piers of a medieval bridge, largely superseded in the 17th and 19th century by a brick and ironwork bridge (S1). See also BXF 012.
