Ock Bridge is a medieval bridge, built on the site of a former ford and characterized by its long approach causeway. A barrel vault in one of the arches has been dated to possibly as early as 1100 AD. The bridge was rebuilt in the 15th century, widened in the 18th century, and widened again in 1979 to 1980. Today it carries the B4017 Drayton Road over the river.
