Thought to have been built way back in the 12th Century, the earliest known mention of the bridge is in a deed of 1293 with the beautiful stone arches, visible from downstream, thought to have been built around 1180.

Not far from Kingston busy shopping centre and market stalls is the 12th-century Clattern Bridge, set in picturesque setting, one of the oldest road bridges in England. It is said the name refers to the clattering of horse drawn carriages passing over it in the past. One of Kingston's many pieces of living, working history - a beautiful old bridge over the River Hogsmill (The Hogsmill river, is a globally rare chalk river) the bridge crosses the river in the centre of Kingston. Easy to locate, by the Rose Theatre and opposite the police station. Considering this bridge is between 800-900 years old, it blends in well with the modern developments in Kingston. Must advise a quick walk down the pathway through the gate to experience the full picture of Medieval Kingston meeting modern Kingston. Very unobtrusive, a plaque on a wall, and in between 2 buildings. The Coronation Stone, now sited close to the river in Kingston, is believed to have been used for the coronation of 7 Saxon kings in the 10th century, leading to the name of the "Kings town" eventually becoming "Kingston". Well worth a visit if you happen to be in Kingston.
