Description

Marton Bridge is a bridge over the River Leam, built in the 15th century with later alterations. It was widened in the mid-20th century and altered and partly reconstructed in 2000.

The bridge features long approaches and has two spans over the river, along with a flood-arch on either side. It is constructed from sandstone ashlar and has segmental-pointed arches of two splayed orders over the stream, with the splays extending to the cutwater and the abutments, which are also splayed to match the cutwater. The flood-arches are similar to those over the stream and have been treated in the same way, with their abutments splayed. The low parapet wall shows signs of periodic rebuilding, with part of the west side constructed in red brick.

Local climate

Marton Bridge receives an average of 760 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 67% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 65% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 36 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 64% 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.
