Clapton Bridge

Clapton Bridge is a road bridge over the River Axe, likely built in the 18th century and later extended and widened in 1830. It is constructed from Ham stone ashlar and features three arches: the widest arch to the north is segmental-arched, while the other two are semi-circular. There is a cutwater on the east side located between the south and middle arches, and the south arch is nearly dry. The parapets have chamfered plinths and chamfered top edges, with square piers at both ends; the northwest end is slightly angled. The parapets are plain on the riversides. The 1830 modifications were carried out by John Pavey at a cost of £210.
