Description

The bridge at Wenfordbridge is a road bridge over the River Camel, dating from the 19th century but with earlier origins. It was partly rebuilt following a flood in 1847. Constructed from local stone and granite rubble, it features ashlar granite dressings. The bridge has a span of three metres and includes two misshapen dressed stone rounded arches, supported by ashlar granite cutwaters. The cutwater on the north side extends upwards to form a refuge. The parapets are made of stone rubble and granite, topped with chamfered granite coping. The bridge has been named since 1613.
