Description

The Bridge is a road bridge built around 1400 for Sir Thomas Latimer. It features squared ironstone with limestone dressings. The east side has two chamfered pointed arches supported by two large cutwaters. The plain rubble parapets are topped with rough slab copings. The parapets were renewed in the 20th century.
