The most detailed OS map has "St Thomas Bridge", and the listed building description states "West Bridge RIVERSIDE. Also known as: St Thomas Bridge" http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=370137 . But this would surely confuse with http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=370111&mode=adv , where the nearby road bridge is also called "St Thomas's Bridge". http://www.historic-cornwall.org.uk/csus/towns/launceston/csus_launceston_report_2005R051.pdf gives "Prior's Bridge".
