Description

Church Bridge is a bridge that was likely built in the early 19th century. It is constructed from local stone rubble with dressings made of Doulting stone. The bridge features three plain semi-circular arches, which are supported by triangular cutwaters and base starlings on the east side. It has a simple parapet. Historical records indicate that in 1757, the bridge was barely wide enough for a carriage, but by 1838, it had been widened on the east side. The parapets were damaged by flood and were awaiting repair as of October 1983.

Church Bridge receives an average of 860 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 60% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 65% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 52% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
