History

A fine county bridge of the C17 or C18.

Exterior

A bridge of a single large segmental arch in hammer-dressed local limestone masonry. The bridge common stonework is set slightly forward of the faces of the voussoirs, and there is a slight string course at the base of the parapet. At each end of the span on each face there is a slight turn-out to a buttress, and each corner is protected from traffic damage on the inside by means of a stone bollard. The carriageway rises gently from each side to a slight central hump, and is about 3½ metres wide between the parapets. The land approaches at both ends are faced in similar masonry but are a little wider.

The bridge parapets are massive and have triangular copings.

Reasons for Listing

A particularly fine county bridge which has fully retained its character.
