The village consists of 12 households and has a 12th century parish church, St. Andrew's, which is a Grade I listed building.[1]
Bridge Sollers takes its name from the surnames of a family connected with the parish: Simon de Brugge (b. 1272) married Mary Solers c.1297.
The first bridge was built at Bridge Sollers in 1896. Previously, there had been a ferry system for crossing the river, and the nearest bridge was at Hereford. This bridge was replaced in 2004.
Nelson Garage used to trade as a petrol station and garage, but has closed for business and is now a used car dealership.[2]
