current fairy bridge is an Edwardian invention for tourists ! - the older nearby bridge is on the boundary of Abbeylands and doffing one's cap may be to do with reverence towards a church ; other theories are to do with supposed right to claim sanctuary but one of first Acts of Stanley Lords was to confirm that they had power to arrest malefactor anywhere so personally I'm not sure re that theory
