Description

Sequer's Bridge is a road bridge over the River Erme, built in the late 18th century or possibly rebuilt in 1794 and again in the mid 19th century. The bridge is constructed of ashlar and features three spans with round arches. The piers have stepped cutwaters on both the upstream and downstream sides. Shallow pilasters rise from the cutwaters into the parapet, which has rounded stone coping. According to James Green, the Surveyor of Bridges for Devon, the bridge was rebuilt in 1794, and it appears to have undergone another rebuilding, likely in the mid 19th century.

Local climate

Sequer's Bridge receives an average of 910 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 69% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 88% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 10 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 91% of listed buildings. Of these, 4 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
