. . . River Glaven as it passes under a cast iron bridge carrying the A148. The bridge was built in 1818, designed by William Hardy. This section of the Glaven valley is most attractive as the river winds through some quite beautiful countryside. St. Andrew's Church has an 11th century round tower with a 14th century top. The nave and chancel share the same roof. Inside there is an early 19th-century Gothic barrel organ. South of the main road stands a fine watermill, powered by the Glaven. Letheringsett Mill still operates commercially, milling stoneground flour for local bakers. Just beyond the mill, a ford crosses the Glaven connecting Letheringsett to the hamlet of Little Thornage. East of the mill is the popular King's Head Public House. J. McShann
