More about this scene
Gatesbury lies to the east of the B1368 close to the junction for Puckeridge. Although originally part of the parish of Westmill, Gatesbury is now firmly within the parish of Braughing; it is named after the Gatesbury family, who held the manor from the late 1100s up to the 1400s, when it was passed to the FitzHerberts. But the history of Gatesbury goes back further, for Braughing was a Roman industrial centre for the manufacture of pottery. Examples can be found all over Roman Britain. When the River Rib is in full flood, bricks, tiles and other more interesting artefacts from the Roman settlement are washed from its banks and deposited in the slow-moving, gravelly meanders.
