Full Description
{1} The road to Turweston appears to have run eastwards from St Peters to the 'great bridge of Turweston', which is recorded in 1270 as lying adjacent to the Old Town mill on the Buckingham road. In 1297 the Hospital was allowed to keep the enclosures it had made except that ‘those coming to Brackley market from Turweston Bridge may have the same path where the wall is not erected at the sheepfold of the Hospital.’ The Turweston bridge became known later, in 1426, as the Buckingham bridge.
