Wool Bridge [1] A bridge over the River Frome is recorded at this point in 1343, but the current Wool Bridge is probably 16th century. Repairs are documented in 1607, 1688, 1742 and 1806. An additional flood arch, was built in, probably, the late 19th century. During the Second World War, the bridge was widened and the parapets removed to allow tanks from nearby Bovingdon Camp to cross. The parapets were later rebuilt using the same stone. The bridge is now only passable to horse riders, cyclists and pedestrians.
