Notes about this historic site
1 At the S end of Clopton Bridge was a chapel of St Mary Magdalene and a hermitage, probably on the site of the present Swan’s Nest Hotel. The Clopton Estate Map of 1599 marks two ‘Armitage Fields’ in this position.
2 The present building is not outstanding. There are no extant remains of the bridge chapel.
