Nature of request

The petitioners state that they have built a new stone bridge over the River Medway at Rochester at their own expense, to replace the decayed old bridge, and propose a way of dividing up maintenance of this new bridge between the towns, vills and other places that used to maintain the old bridge. They also ask that these places might be able to choose two wardens annually to survey the bridge and supervise any necessary repairs.

Nature of endorsement

[None].
