Full Description
{2} There was a major road running north from Oundle to Stamford. It ran on the west side of the Nene past the medieval hospital at Perio and through the western part of Fotheringhay township, crossing the Willow Brook at Walcotforth. In 1330 the men of Fotheringhay were distrained for failing to repair the bridge at Walcotforth which it was said was crossed by men, horses and carriages from Oundle to Stamford. The surviving bridge is of 18th or early 19th century date but clearly not only was there a 14th century bridge but also an earlier ford, suggesting that this was probably of some importance at a much earlier date.
