Description

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.

Local climate

Clapton Bridge receives an average of 800 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 54% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 66% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 29 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 67% of listed buildings. Of these, 11 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.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
