Description

Church Bridge is a bridge dating from the late 17th century to the 18th century, which was widened in the 20th century. It is constructed of ashlar and features three rounded arches along with two cutwaters that rise into the parapet on the upstream side. The downstream side has been significantly widened and lacks cutwaters. The bridge has stone coped parapets and is likely a restoration from the 18th century of an earlier structure. It carries Stamford Road over the River Gwash and is designated as a scheduled ancient monument.

Church Bridge sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 730 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 78% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 79% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 50% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 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.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
