Tilford Packhorse Bridge is a medieval bridge over the River Wey,
one of the remaining six 13th Century bridges constructed by
monks from Waverley Abbey near Fanham, Surrey.
This is the larger, one of the best-preserved medieval
packhorse bridges in England, of two medieval stone bridges at
Tilford, part of the Waverley Abbey series of constructions probably built as a
group by the monks in the 13th century.
Between Godalming and Farnham, there were at one time
14 medieval crossings of the river Wey. Six have survived, they
are Eashing, Unstead, Somerset, Elstead and two at Tilford.
They are built in the local undressed Bargate stone.
The bridges are now protected by Scheduled Ancient Monument
status.
