Until 1827 the furthest downstream bridge over the river Teign was Teign Bridge at Teigngrace. When it was being rebuilt in 1815 it became apparent that at least four successive bridges had been erected at various times with or over the remains of the previous constructions. Mr. P. T. Taylor, who investigated the matter at the time, gave as his opinion that: the last or upper work was done in the 16th century, and that the red bridge had been built on the salt marsh in the 13th century. He supposed the wooden bridge to be as old as the Conquest, and the white stone bridge to have been Roman work.
