Description
St John's Bridge is a road bridge over the River Thames, rebuilt in 1831 by Peter Cox, with some alterations made in 1884. It stands on the site of a stone bridge dating back to around 1229. The bridge is constructed of ashlar, featuring coursed and dressed stone abutments. It has a low single arch, with a string course above and a wall approximately 1.5 meters high, topped with steep moulded coping and a weathered offset. The ends of the arch are marked by coped polygonal piers below the wall line, along with an additional set of outer flat piers that have double polygonal coping rising above the top of the wall. The bridge measures about 15 meters in length and 5 meters in width.
