The town created around a bridge which was integrated in or prior to the 10th century between the royal estates of Alvington, to the west, and Chillington, to the east, therefore providing it the name of Kyngysbrygge ("King's bridge").

The mansion continued to be in ownership of the abbot up until the Dissolution of the Monasteries, when it was provided to Sir William Petre.
