Crossing Sheepwash Bridge
I quote from a local history (Devon Perspectives):
"Sheepwash Bridge across the Torridge to the south of the village was built in the 17th century. After the only son of the wealthy local landowner John Tosbury was swept away while crossing the ford when the river was in spate, his grief-stricken father underwrote the building and maintenance of a bridge in memory of his drowned son.
By 1695 trustees had been appointed to secure the upkeep of the bridge. As the income from the Tosbury estates proved more than sufficient to maintain the bridge, John gave instructions that the surplus be used for the benefit of the people of Sheepwash. So the Bridgeland Trust was born and to this day it provides for deserving cases of hardship in the community, as well as going towards the upkeep of the church and chapel."
