Maidenheads's first bridge was built about 1280. In 1400 earls in rebellion against King Henry IV fought a three day battle here. The Guild of St. Andrew & St. Mary Magdalene (founded 1451), who were the forerunners of the Bridgemasters and the Corporation, built the second bridge about 1460. Sir Robert Taylor designed the present bridge which was built in 1772-7 and freed from toll in 1903.
