Description

Lacock Bridge consists of two bridges and a causeway, dating from the late medieval to the 17th century and the early 19th century. The materials used are ashlar and rubble stone.

The main bridge spans the River Avon and features four rebated, pointed arches with cutwaters on the upstream side. The downstream side has a heavy central pier with a stepped top. The two arches on the right are slightly set forward compared to the left pair. There is a stone parapet along the bridge. On the north side, there is approximately 19 meters of rubble stone walling, while the south side has about 68 meters of similar walling, which includes square holes for floodwater drainage, connecting to the second bridge over a tributary.

The second bridge has five arches, constructed in ashlar. The northern pair of arches, which are round-arched and brick lined, date to the early 19th century. It features an ashlar parapet with a band, which carries the inscription and date 'G. Banks 1809'. The remaining three arches are pointed and rebated, with upstream cutwaters and downstream stepped piers, along with a parapet. On the south side, there is about 24 meters of rubble stone wall.
