There has been a bridge across the Thames at Marlow since before 1227. The present bridge was built between 1829 and 1832 to replace the wooden bridge sited further downstream. William Tierney Clark FRS MICE (1783-1852) was appointed to design a new bridge and supervise its construction. Tierney Clark designed four suspension bridges: at Hammersmith, Shoreham, Marlow and, the largest, at Budapest. Only the Marlow and Budapest bridges survive.
