    Clifton Hampden is a village and civil parish on the north bank of the River Thames, just over 3 miles (5 km) east of Abingdon in Oxfordshire. Since 1932 the civil parish has included the village of Burcot, 1 mile (1.6 km) east of Clifton Hampden. The 2011 Census recorded the parish population as 662.
    The Church of England parish church of St Michael and All Angels was a chapel of Dorchester parish until the 19th century. The oldest parts of the church include the arcade of the south aisle, which was built in about 1180. Elsewhere in the church are three 13th century Early English lancet windows. The south aisle ends in a Decorated Gothic chapel that was added in the 14th century. The Perpendicular Gothic arcade of the north aisle is later. In 1843-44 the church was rebuilt to the designs of George Gilbert Scott, who ornamented the chancel as a memorial to the benefactor who funded the restoration.
    The bridge was built of red brick supplied from a kiln built on Clifton Heath. The bridge's architect was Sir George Gilbert Scott who died in 1878.
    Sir George was the architect of many iconic buildings, including the Midland Grand Hotel at St Pancras Station, the Albert Memorial, and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
    The bridge design has six gothic arches with spans from 24 feet (or 7.3 m) to 34 feet (or 10 m). The five brick piers have triangular cutwaters which extend upwards to provide pedestrian refuges.
    The total cost of the construction was £3,617 (equivalent to £271,000 today)
    The unusually low tolls being levied only to meet the cost of ongoing maintenance. The bridge opened in 1867 with its builder, Richard Casey, as toll keeper.
    In 1931 the bridge was nearly demolished as part of Berkshire County Council's policy of replacing toll bridges. New plans for a steel beam and trestle bridge were drawn up but the intervention of the Second World War put the plans on hold.
    In 1946 the Councils of Oxfordshire and Berkshire purchased the bridge from Lady Aldenham for £1,850 (equivalent to £65,000 today) and decided to retain Sir Georges brick structure.
    On 4 October 1946 the bridge was made free, the first vehicle to cross being a fairground caravan.
