According to British History Online "Quaking Bridge, first mentioned by name in 1297 but probably much older, crossed the mill-stream immediately west of the castle, on the line of a road which passed from the town into St. Thomas's parish before the castle's construction. The canons of Oseney passed over it daily to perform services in St. George's chapel in the castle. Responsibility for the bridge's upkeep was stated repeatedly to lie with the king. The bridge seems to have been built of timber; in 1821 it comprised three arches and was railed with open-work timber. The present iron bridge was built in 1835." http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=22808
