Description
Fleming's Bridge is a pedestrian bridge over the River Devon, built in the early 17th century for Samuel Fleming, who was rector from 1581 to 1620. The bridge is constructed of ironstone with limestone dressings and is designed in a medieval style. It features two semi-circular arches supported by four chamfered ribs that meet at a central cutwater. The retaining wall on the north side is straight, while the south side retains a circular bastion from the 17th century. The parapet rises to a peak in the center and flares sharply outward at both ends.
Local climate
Flemings Bridge sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 84% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 90% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 37 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 67% of listed buildings. Of these, 18 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.
