Description
Old Radcot Bridge, located in the parishes of Grafton and Radcot, dates from the 13th century, with some alterations made in the 14th century. The bridge is constructed from limestone ashlar and features roughly coursed rubble with coping on the abutments, which has been replaced by concrete on the south-east approach. It has three single-stepped arches; the outer arches are sharply pointed with ribbing on the underside, while the central arch is four-centred and lacks ribbing. The bridge has a coped parapet with a triangular projection on the east side, which may have once held a statue. It spans the River Thames, which serves as the parish boundary between Grafton and Radcot and Great Faringdon, and was previously the county border with Berkshire. In 1312, pontage rights for the bridge's repair were granted to Robert del Pultre and Robert de Kaar.
