The Packhorse Bridge 100m north west of the Church of St Mary is a medieval stone structure located in Somerset, England. Packhorse bridges of this type were built to facilitate the movement of goods and livestock across waterways during the medieval period, serving as essential infrastructure for trade routes and local communication networks. The bridge is constructed in stone and reflects the modest but durable engineering typical of such medieval crossing points, designed to accommodate pack animals rather than wheeled vehicles. Its survival to the present day demonstrates the solid construction methods employed in medieval bridge building and its continued local importance over centuries.
