Description

Went Bridge is a public road bridge that spans the River Went, likely built in the early 19th century. It is constructed from rock-faced magnesian limestone and sandstone ashlar. The bridge features two low segmental arches, which are supported by rock-faced rusticated voussoirs. Between the arches, there is a convex cutwater and a broad tapering pilaster. Above the water, there is a slightly raised band of sandstone ashlar, and the parapet is made of similar material, featuring rounded coping and rectangular terminals.

Went Bridge receives an average of 770 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 63% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 94% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 38 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 71% of listed buildings. Of these, 19 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
