Description
Stoke Bridge is a bridge dated 1789, located in Stoke upon Tern. The bridge features dressed red sandstone that is almost of ashlar quality, with tooled dressed red sandstone parapets. It has brick soffits and a humped-back shape. The central segmental arch has a stepped extrados and a raised keystone, with a pair of smaller flanking keyed segmental arches. The parapet was raised using large dressed blocks, and there are square end piers. The construction of the bridge was funded by local subscription. In 1826, Thomas Stanton recommended raising the height of the parapets, a suggestion that was reiterated by Edward Haycock, the County Surveyor, in 1837. This work seems to have been completed at a later date. The bridge carries the Hodnet-Stoke upon Tern road over the River Tern.
