Wilton Bridge is a Grade I listed bridge crossing the River Wye between Wilton, Herefordshire and Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, England.
[3] It has an eroded inscription which was recorded by the RCHM as reading Esteem they precious time Which pass so swift away Prepare thee for eternity And do not make delay.
On Wilton Bridge o’er restless Wye A moss-grown pillar lifts on high A dial quaint, on whose worn face Whoever will may pause and trace Its message to the passer-by.
It shows life’s hours like shadows fly: Gives counsel wise all should apply; So lighter thoughts to grave give place On Wilton Bridge.
Placed where much beauty charms the eye, These piers both Time and tide defy, Builded of old with massive grace.
