Prior to 1912, the road crossing by the mill > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1257450 was a ford but by 1914 the road had been built up and moved further away from the mill, with the bridge finally opening in 1914. By 1999, the bridge was deemed unsafe for heavy goods vehicles which were diverted through Aylsham until completion of the bypass in early 2002. The bridge has since been renovated. The villages Corpusty and Saxthorpe, situated either side of the river Bure, merge into each other. Each village has their own church but St Andrew's > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/309082 serves both villages ever since Corpusty's Saint Peter's > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/873327 - located on the outskirts of the village and separated from it by the busy B1149 - closed and came in the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches.
