Medieval Bridge and Chapel, St Ives
Heritage Open Day: For almost a thousand years the medieval bridge over the River Great Ouse was the only access from the south into St Ives for travellers, pilgrims and traders. The Chapel of St Leger in the centre of the bridge is one of only four in England. The first bridge was a wooden structure built in 1107AD. Tolls collected from travellers provided a valuable income for the monks of Ramsey Abbey. A stone replacement bridge was completed in 1425, and a chapel was added in 1426 dedicated to St Leger. Bridges incorporating chapels were not uncommon in medieval times, but St Ives bridge is one of only four remaining today.
