Road bridge over River Dart. Built in 1413. It is said to have been in a state of decay in C17 which could have required repair or even some rebuilding. Stone rubble. Seven obtusely - pointed arches span a total distance of about 69 yards and carry a carriageway of 10ft wide. The piers have V-shaped cutwaters on both sides with refuges above. The refuge at the north west end is rectangular and measures 5' by 8'. Low parapets with chamfered granite coping. Staverton Bridge is one of the oldest bridges in Devon. Indulgences for the rebuilding of Staverton Bridge were issued in 1413 by Bishop Stafford. Source: Henderson and Jervoise, Old Devon Bridges pp 35 and 36. Scheduled Ancient Monument No 148.
