Stow Bridge
At the time of the Domesday Book in 1085, Stowbridge did not exist, and the Great Ouse did not run through the area. It was largely marshy ground drained by a small river system seemingly referred to in the old documents as the Wiggenhall Eau that ran up through Wiggenhall Parish to Lynn and The Wash.
