Description

A packhorse bridge, probably medieval in date, with some later restoration.

MATERIALS The bridge is constructed from coursed rubble stone, with timber railings.

DESCRIPTION The bridge, which is six feet (circa 2m) wide and spans 34 feet (circa 10m), is of two spans. It has two pointed, almost straight-sided arches and a central pier, which has a full-height, pointed cutwater on the upstream side; there is no cutwater on the downstream side. It has a kerb of rubble stones set on edge. The C20 timber railings have a single top-rail set diamond-wise, and cantilevered out from the structure of the bridge.
