In the 12th Century , the alchemist Roger Bacon lived and worked close to Folly Bridge. A toll-booth tower used to stand next to the bridge, which was on the Abingdon to Banbury turnpike. The toll house was rebuilt in 1826 and is now Grade II Listed . A public Footbridge was completed next to the road bridge in 2002 , designed by Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners . Salters Steamers are located near the bridge. Christ Church Meadow is just down river from the bridge. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
