Description
King Williams Bridge is a road bridge built in 1836. It is constructed from dressed stone rubble and features stone arches. The bridge has a single span with segmental design, and it includes parapets topped with rough stone capping and stone pilasters at each end. On the western parapet, facing the road, there is a slate inscription that reads: "Toward the erection of this bridge, built by subscription, in the year of human redemption 1836, his most gracious Majesty King William the Fourth gave the sum of Twenty Pounds. Fear God! Honour the King!" It has been noted that the bridge was largely financed by R S Hawker, who was involved in its construction as one of his first works in the parish. However, while some sources suggest his contribution was significant, other evidence indicates it was only £2.
