Description

Limpley Stoke Viaduct is a viaduct that carries the Bath to Warminster Road. It was built in 1834 by G. P. Manners of Bath, with D. Aust as the builder. The structure is made of coursed, squared limestone rubble and ashlar. It features eleven tall round-headed arches supported by square piers, complete with imposts and keystones that give it a classical look. The viaduct has a continuous plain cornice, a plat band at road level, and a tall, plain coped parapet with pilaster strips at the ends. It was constructed as part of road improvements during the realignment of the turnpike from Bath to Southampton via Warminster. In 1920, it was reinforced with concrete.
