Description
An early-C15 bridge, widened in the early-C19.
MATERIALS: the bridge is constructed of rubble stone with ashlar dessings.
PLAN: the bridge is orientated roughly south-west to north-east as it crosses the River Torridge.
DESCRIPTION: the original arches of the bridge can be seen on the undersides where they rise sharply from the piers to a narrow point. The road carried on these arches would have been between 2.75m and 3m wide. When the bridge was widened, new arches were added which spring from the cutwaters and increased the road width to 4m.
Above the arches there is a projecting string course and above this the parapets. At the points where the cutwaters rise, these continue above the stringcourse as pilasters. The parapets have chamfered ashlar copings.
