What is recorded here

Seven-arch limestone bridge, built c.1740, widened to north by c.1.2m, and two central arches replaced c.1940 with flat-headed concrete spans. Round arches to original, with roughly squared voussoirs. Narrow concrete V-plan cutwaters to north side. Parapet walls of coursed rubble limestone with large stones laid flat for copings.
\the round arches of this bridge have been well built, giving it a pleasing appearance in the rural landscape. Not untypically the river arches have been replaced with flat concrete arches in the twentieth century. The earlier widening of the bridge adds interest and reflects the move towards enhancing communications in the late eighteenth and early nineteeenth centuries.
