Bridge Sollers is a village in Herefordshire, six miles west of Hereford, on the River Wye.
Bridge Sollers takes its name from the surnames of a family connected with the parish. Simon de Brugge (b. 1272) married Mary Solers c.1297.
The parish church, St. Andrew's, was built in the 12th Century, and is a Grade I listed building.[1]
History
The first bridge was built at Bridge Sollers in 1896. Previously there had been a ferry system for crossing the river, and the nearest bridge was at Hereford. This bridge was replaced in 2004.
