Bourton Church Bridge (MLN17169)

Bourton Church Bridge is a Grade II listed triple-arched bridge built with elevations and parapets that appear to be entirely refaced in red engineering brick, featuring purple engineering brick detailing in English bond. The bridge has a sweeping hump-back profile, with the central arch spanning 30 feet (9 meters) and the side arches being lower with spans of 15 feet (4.6 meters). Each pier has a single transverse arch, and there is a tie-rod with square plates attached to each spandrel. A plain purple engineering brick string course, originally moulded, runs along the bridge. The parapets end in piers that project only on the outer face at the ends of the curved wing walls, while the inner face of the parapets features low chamfered plinths. The coping on the low mileage (east) parapet is made of bull-nosed purple engineering brick, while the high mileage (west) parapet has stone coping. The end piers are topped with quarry-faced stone coping stones.

The bridge is situated in a rural landscape, but it is visible from the nearly identical Bourton Bridge, located half a mile down the line towards Chippenham.
