It was later replaced by a brick and strap bridge with three arches, this collapsed into the Teme one winter to be replaced in 1797 by a
single span iron one designed by Nash. This bridge was later succeeded in 1905. The 1905 bridge is of Ferro concrete pre cast with a 99ft span. When opened it was the longest span of concrete in the world. A new bridge was built in 1971, and is of an unusual construction, having a curve, a camber and an
incline built into it. It was opened in 1972. The parish church of St. Mary stands high on a hill up the
road to Sapey. Built in 1768 by James Rose, as part of Sir Edward Winnington's plan to create a new park, the church stood where the lake is today . Both the old church and the rectory were pulled down. In good ashlar work of the Gothic style, it has a white ceiling, but was somewhat spoiled during the
restoration of 1894. There are a number of graves to the Spencer Churchill family, who were related through marriage to the Winningtons.[:ITAL]
