Etymology
Goldbridge Ho is Godebrig 1239 FF, Goldebrigge 1332, 1448 FF, Goldbrigge 1491 SRS 14, 95. It is difficult to believe that this bridge and another in Newick infra 316 can both contain the OE pers. name Golda , otherwise unknown in this county.Rather we must have OE golde , used, as Ekwall (PN La 99 s. n. Golborne) shows may well have been the case, of the marsh marigold or some other golden plant. Cf. atte Goldbrok in Maresfield (1332 SR). In that case the name would mean 'bridge by which golde grows.' Cf. also Goldiford (PN BedsHu 195).
