Godmersham Bridge

Godmersham Bridge is a bridge dating from the 17th century and 19th century, with an inscription over the center arch that is dated 1698. The structure is built of rubble, featuring a brick parapet and approaching walls, along with a 19th-century red brick extension and causeway to the east. Originally, the bridge had three chamfered arches and two battered piers on the north side. After 1810, it was extended in red brick to include one additional arch over the river and six smaller arches for the causeway. On the south side, there are four pointed cut waters, two made of brick and two of stone. The inscription reads: "Built by the Parish and NOT by the Country. Thomas Caster and Richard Austen SURWEIGHERS."
