Clattern Bridge

Clattern Bridge is a bridge dating to the late 12th century, with significant alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries, including a widening in approximately 1758 and further work in 1852. The bridge spans the Hogsmill River and is constructed from stone rubble and flint, brick, and stone ashlar facing and dressings.

The north side of the bridge retains three slightly stilted arches from the 12th century, built of two courses of ashlar above rubble and flint infill. The upper part of this side and the parapet are later 18th-century additions, built of red brick with stone coping. The coping rises to a central panel above which is the base of an octagonal stone shaft.

The south side of the bridge was extended during the 18th and 19th centuries. The 19th-century south face features three round arches in brick with stone dressings, articulated by stone half columns with cubic capitals, each surmounted by a column with a scallop capital. Between the columns, which form the parapet, are cast iron railings with alternating columnar shafts and two tiers of cusped circles. Repaired or added cutwaters are present on the south side.

The bridge is also designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument (NHLE 1002021).
