Thieves Bridge Road, Watlington
Thieves Bridge is a barely-noticeable bridge over a small stream. Tales tell that once, long ago, men stole the bells from Tottenhill church just over a mile away. As they were too heavy to carry away in one go, the robbers hid the bells under this bridge for safe-keeping - but, they were of course found, and the thieves later apprehended and hanged. After this event, the name of Thieves' Bridge stuck, and indeed a road, a wood and a nearby farm are now so named after the bridge. As it happens, one of the bells of St. Botolph's was indeed stolen in 1642, and it only has one now, so it seems the legend may have a kernel of truth.
