II

Road bridge 1836. Dressed stone rubble with stone arches. Single span segmental bridge with parapets with rough stone capping and stone pilasters at ends. Slate built into western parapet, facing road, inscribed with "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!" Hawker's second wife wrote that the bridge was largely financed by Hawker, and was one of his first works in the parish, C E Byles, The Life and Letters of R S Hawker (1905) p.76, although other evidence suggests that Hawker's contribution was £2, Joan Rendell, Hawker Country (1980) p.56.
