older bridge that lifted up to allow wherries to pass underneath. The old bridge, built around the 15th century, is of two arches and built of brick. It incorporates two strange arched niche-like structures that have been variously interpreted as shelters for travellers caught in the rain and as lurking-places for excise-men. Percy Millican, in his history of Horstead and Stanninghall, links these with a similar arch not far from the bridge there, which is of similar date. Millican describes the bridge as standing high and dry, although today water flows under both of these arches. St Theobald's Church, now in ruins, is a round tower church from the 11th century. It was ruinated in around 1860. It is a listed building. Sources Francis Blomefield: An Essay Towards a Topographical History of Norfolk, William Miller, London, 1807.
