Bow Bridge. The bridge or 'bow' is the origin of the name of the village.
Carbonell, B. M. H. + Wauton, M., 2002, Untitled Source, 2 (Pamphlet). SDV321149.
'Bow' is said to derive its name from the single-span 12C bridge carrying the highway across the River Yeo. Early arched span bridges were known as 'bows' to distinguish them from flat 'clapper' bridges.
