Warkworth Bridge

Warkworth Bridge is a bridge dating from the late 14th century, with its parapets likely rebuilt in the 18th century. It is constructed of squared stone with cut dressings. The bridge features two double-chamfered segmental arches, each spanning 18 meters, along with an impost band and four chamfered soffit ribs. A central sharply-angled cutwater has a triple-chamfered plinth and serves as a pedestrian refuge, flanked by projecting stone drain spouts. The bridge has splayed wing walls, and the parapet is topped with chamfered coping. It is also a Scheduled Ancient Monument in Northumberland. Historically, John Cook of Newcastle, who died in 1378 or 1379, contributed 20 marks towards the construction of Warkworth Bridge.
