Built originally in 1244 by Bishop Bingham across 2 branches of the Avon and
an island between the branches, in conjunction with St Nicholas's Hospital
on the north bank and adjoining the river, and with a Chapel on the island.
The larger part is of 6 arches, the smaller of 2 arches with a segmental centre

Remains, probably complete of the old bridge are visible inside an outer casing
probably of Cl6 or C17 date. All ashlar stone with solid parapet and plain
