Full Description
{1}. The north bridge continued to be associated with the former hospital. In 1509 a local butcher left 6s 8d to the highway at ‘spittull brigge’.
(Ref 3.6) There is a little evidence which shows concern to keep the town’s streets and bridges in good repair. In April 1366 twelve leading townsmen, together with ‘all the community of Towcester’, gave notification that they had appointed proctors to collect money for the repair of the bridge called the North Bridge next to the hospital of St Leonard at the end of Towcester.
