History
Built about 1800, the buildings that are now 'The Bridge Inn' were originally a busy family run farm. When the Kennet and Avon Canal was opened in 1810, the premises were extended to accommodate a flour mill and bakery and used wheat transported by working barges along this new link between the rivers Thames in the east and Avon in the West. One wall of the outbuildings still shows evidence of where the bread ovens and chimney were situated.
The Bridge also has a resident Ghost, Jane an ex-Landlady from the 19th Century (Haunted Wiltshire)
