Full Description
(Shelford Priory) granted to the Prior and Convent of Thurgarton, that they and all passengers should have a way through the middle of their meadow of Ogheng, and the ditch of the said meadow without difficulty, for which purpose they would find a bridge, from Martinmas till the beginning of May, if need were. (1)
Supposed position near Gunthorpe (SK 6752 4369) is a conjecture that the bridge was presumably near the Priory. (2) (3)
Bridge is unlikely to have been in this locality (as given by (2). No structural remains at this site. (4)
Source (4) did not refer to source (1). The site of the bridge is more likely to be at above grid ref, crossing the "Old Trent" (the ditch?) to give access across Shelford Meadow to the site of the ferry. (5)
