Description: | Bridge Street, which has also been known by the names of George Hill, Mill Hill and Grub Street connects the village to the manor and the church, via the north ford, now a bridge, across the River Meon.
The houses are 17th century improvements, additions or replacements to the originals which were further from the street. The smaller house was another of the old taverns and leans against its neighbour Blanton. All the houses are of the same bricks as the Square while two are colour washed with the third following the pattern of grey headers inside red quoins. In the distance can be seen Queens Lodge.
St Nicholas's Church is situated to the north of the village.
