Note 60 — Chapter I · ROADS AND BRIDGES
Lucy Toulmin Smith translation
Mentioned by Leland: “High Bridge hath but one great arch, and over a pece of it is a chapelle of St. George” (“Itinerary,” ed. L. T. Smith, i. 29), which chapel had been first dedicated to St. Thomas of Canterbury, but had apparently just been rebaptized, when Leland saw it, Henry VIII having decided by a proclamation of November 16, 1538, that other saints might be saints, but this one was not.
