Welcome to Standford Bridge

Stanford Bridge is a small village located in the county of Shropshire, England. The village is situated on the banks of the River Teme, which flows through the village and provides a picturesque setting for visitors. The village is known for its historic bridge, which dates back to the 14th century and is a popular attraction for tourists.

The bridge is a Grade II listed structure and is considered to be one of the finest examples of medieval bridge engineering in the country. The bridge is made of local red sandstone and has five arches, each spanning the river. The bridge was built to provide a crossing point for travellers and merchants who were travelling between the towns of Ludlow and Worcester.

The village of Stanford Bridge is also home to a number of historic buildings, including the 12th-century St. Peter's Church, which is located on the outskirts of the village. The church is a fine example of Norman architecture and features a number of interesting features, including a 14th-century font and a 15th-century rood screen. The village also has a number of traditional pubs and restaurants, which serve local cuisine and provide a warm welcome to visitors.
