Maud Heath's Causeway

Out for a drive late this morning with the hope of finding an interesting blip. I spent a while walking along the river Avon here at Maud Heath's causeway and took aver 150 pictures. Some were absolutely dire, so d.e.l.e.t.e. others were average and not so many really good. I'm not sure that this is really good but I do like the view of the arches {this was taken from in the field} and it gives an idea of how long it is.


Maud Heath lived in Tytherton Kellaways during the latter part of the 15th century. We would probably have no knowledge of Maud Heath if it were not for her gift, in 1474, of land and property in and around Chippenham to a trust which oversaw the construction of a causeway to allow people dry passage from Wick Hill to Chippenham.

The latter part of the information was taken from Chippenham.gov.uk and gives a lot more information.
