Description
Water Orton Bridge is a road bridge built around 1520 on the site of an earlier bridge, commissioned by Bishop John Vesey of Exeter, with later repairs. It is constructed of ashlar sandstone and spans the River Tame. The bridge features six semi-circular arches, each 5 meters wide, finished with stone voussoirs. Between the arches are 2-meter-wide piers with V-shaped cutwaters on either side, extending to the full height of the bridge up to the parapet level. The coped parapets are plain, and there are stone drainage spouts located above the two central arches.
