Historic Significance: It is a Grade I Listed Building (the highest level of protection), noted for its special architectural and historic interest. Age: The first record of the bridge dates back to 1334, suggesting its medieval origins, with parts of the current structure likely dating to the 15th century. Construction: It is built of coursed rubble and ashlar stone and features nine semi-circular arches. Widening: The bridge was widened in 1819. The upstream side is the original, medieval part and features triangular cut-waters which extend up to form pedestrian refuges. The downstream side is the later, plainer widening. Inscriptions: There is a reset stone on the east side of the bridge inscribed with the year 1719. Name Origin: The bridge is named Crawford Bridge because it carries the road from Spetisbury to Tarrant Crawford. The nearby area of Spetisbury was historically one of three manors, including Great Crawford.

St Peter's Church is the oldest church in Shaftesbury, located at the top of the famous Gold Hill, right next to the ruins of Shaftesbury Abbey. It is a key historic building and a prominent part of the town's landscape. St Peter's Church was originally built in the 14th century to serve pilgrims visiting the nearby Shaftesbury Abbey. Due to economic hardships, such as the Black Death, its construction was prolonged, resulting in a mix of architectural styles, including Decorated and Perpendicular Gothic. The lower part of the tower is the oldest section of the current building. The nave and its arcades are from the 14th century, while the clerestory and the panelled oak roofs were added in the 15th and 16th centuries. The church also features a crypt under its south aisle. Decline and Restoration: By the late 19th century, St Peter's fell into disuse and disrepair. It was even used as a grain store during World War II. In 1971, it was officially declared redundant. However, a major restoration effort was launched by local groups, and in 1977, it was rededicated and became the parish church of Shaftesbury once again. It was the first church in the country to be re-established as a full-time parish church after being declared redundant.

Holy Trinity Church in Shaftesbury is a Grade II listed building with a rich history, but it is no longer a consecrated place of worship. Today, it is known as the Trinity Centre, a vibrant community hub. The current building, designed in the Early English Gothic Revival style by the famous architect Sir George Gilbert Scott, was largely built between 1841 and 1842 on the site of an even older medieval church. The new building featured a 100-foot-tall western tower and a chancel that was added in 1908. It was the principal Anglican parish church in Shaftesbury for over a century, even as the nearby St Peter's Church fell into disuse. However, with declining congregation numbers, Holy Trinity was made redundant as a parish church in 1977. Its congregation was transferred back to the newly restored St Peter's Church, and the Holy Trinity building was sold. I find it weird how a church can be sold off to become a selection of business's, while still keeping its graveyard.

Though my bike is in the way, you have to trust me. Exceptional views to be seen from here
