What is recorded here
This black commemorative plaque records: The river is still a ford, but now with a footbridge. In the corner, to the left of the alleyway, is H. Mills, baker and grocer. To the right of the shop, The Retreat can be seen, a beautiful 16C. house demolished in the 1960's
The River Misbourne marks an ancient crossing point with a historical ford now replaced by a footbridge; nearby stood The Retreat, a notable 16th-century house of architectural significance until its demolition in the 1960s.
