Description

Thropton Bridge, built in 1810, spans the Wreigh Burn in Thropton Village. The bridge is constructed from tooled-and-margined stone and features a hogback design with a segmental arch. It has an arch ring and a band below the parapet, which is topped with chamfered coping. The end walls were added in the later 19th century and include pilasters that support round piers with domed caps. The wing walls are flat-coped, except on the north-east side. The bridge was built by George Robson, a local Catholic landowner, at a cost of £365.
