Foulbridge
Foulbridge (''Fuchebruge'', 12th century; ''Fulkebridge'', 12th, 16th century; ''Feukebrigg'', 13th-14th centuries; ''Foukebrigg'', 14th century; ''Fowbridge'', 14th-16th centuries) is the site of a manor about 2 miles south of the village of Snainton in North Yorkshire, England. The River Derwent flows nearby. Land in the area formerly belonged to Rievaulx Abbey and Foulbridge Preceptory was located here. In medieval times the manor belonged to the Templars, before John de Dalton took over ownership in 1308. History In 1177–81 and 1189–90, Foulbridge was a member of Settrington, but it afterwards passed into the overlordship of the Percys, Earls of Northumberland, and of the Mowbrays. John, Lord Mowbray died seised of the moiety of the manor, which must have escheated to him, in 1322, and in 1327 the demesne lands were said to have lain fallow since the Conquest. Foulbridge was probably the "manor of Snainton" about which Ingram de Boynton and the Knights of the Temple ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bridge Over The River Derwent At Foulbridge - Geograph
A bridge is a structure built to span a physical obstacle (such as a body of water, valley, road, or rail) without blocking the way underneath. It is constructed for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle, which is usually something that is otherwise difficult or impossible to cross. There are many different designs of bridges, each serving a particular purpose and applicable to different situations. Designs of bridges vary depending on factors such as the function of the bridge, the nature of the terrain where the bridge is constructed and anchored, and the material used to make it, and the funds available to build it. The earliest bridges were likely made with fallen trees and stepping stones. The Neolithic people built boardwalk bridges across marshland. The Arkadiko Bridge (dating from the 13th century BC, in the Peloponnese) is one of the oldest arch bridges still in existence and use.
