Description
The Bridge, dating from circa 1415-26, replaced a wooden bridge constructed around 1110. It is built of barnacle ashlar with a brick parapet dating to circa 1716. The bridge features six arches supported by piers, with pointed cutwaters rising to form refuges along the parapets. Four original northern arches are pointed; the two southern arches are semi-circular and were rebuilt in 1716, replacing a Civil War drawbridge that had spanned the southernmost arch. The structure is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

The Bridge sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 98% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 95% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 56% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 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.
