Ruthernbridge

The village is centred around an early 15th-century bridge with two pointed arches which carries the road over the River Ruthern. The old wesleyan chapel, which was built in 1879, and the adjacent coach house, are both Grade II listed buildings. ==Railway==

When the Bodmin and Wadebridge Railway (B&W) was built in 1834 it included a short branch of about from Grogley Junction to Ruthernbridge. Although not a requirement, the B&W placed stone markers every quarter of a mile, and a marker stone at each terminus showing the distance to the company's headquarters in Wadebridge, that at Ruthernbridge showing a distance of 4 miles 1 furlong 5 chains 10 yards.{{cite book |last = Fairclough |first = Tony |title = The Story of Cornwall's Railways |publisher = Tor Mark Press |location = Truro |year = 1970 ==Mining==

The oldest mine working in the area is Mulberry Mine which dates back at least to Roman times, when it was one of only three mines in the county producing tin. Indeed, mining was, for a short period in the 19th century, a major industry locally, and seven different mines used the railhead at Ruthernbridge to convey their ores out for smelting. ==References==
