Abridge Essex

Unsurprisingly, this sign shows the bridge over the River Roding after which the village is named. The bridge has been an important crossing point on the river for many centuries, pointed out by the Roman(?) helm on the sign. The church spire shown on the sign appears to be that of nearby St Mary’s Lambourne rather than the Abridge Holy Trinity church which is spireless.
