Description
Lerryn Bridge is a bridge over the River Lerryn, which was repaired in 1573. It is constructed of rubble stone with granite dressings. Originally, the bridge had three arches, but it now features two four-centred granite chamfered arches, with the larger arch located on the north side. The arches spring from granite moulded imposts. Large granite blocks form cutwaters on both the east and west sides, which rise to create refuges. The roadway measures 9½ feet wide and is flanked by rubble stone parapets topped with granite copings, which are splayed out over the abutments to the north and south. On the west side of the bridge, the date "16" has been inscribed on the granite coping of the refuge.
The bridge was mentioned by John Leland in 1535. In 1573, Queen Elizabeth issued an order to the bailiff and constables of the Hundred of the West to collect funds for the construction and repair of a decayed bridge known as 'Laryon Bridge' between St Veep and St Winnow. The bridge is also scheduled as an Ancient Monument.
