The Packhorse Bridge 100m north west of the Church of St Mary is a medieval bridge structure located in Somerset, England. Packhorse bridges of this type were constructed to facilitate the movement of goods across waterways during the medieval period, serving as essential infrastructure for commercial trade routes. The bridge would have been designed with a characteristically narrow, arched span suitable for pack animals rather than wheeled vehicles, reflecting the transportation methods of its era. This example represents an important survival of medieval commercial infrastructure in the Somerset landscape.
