Potter Heigham Bridge

Potter Heigham Bridge is a road bridge over the River Thurne, dating from the 14th century, with alterations made in the 15th century and late 18th century. The bridge is constructed of ashlar stone and features a gault brick parapet. It has three arches: the central semi-circular arch is from the 15th century, flanked by triangular arches from the 14th century, each with four chamfered ribs. Pointed cutwaters are located between the arches, below canted pilaster buttresses. Heavy buttresses with roll and wave moulded corbelling were added in the 15th century beyond the triangular arches. The late 18th century gault brick parapet is supported by two sloping buttresses on each side. Both sides of the bridge are identical. The bridge is also a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
