What is recorded here

Castle Bridge spans the River Avon in Warwick as a single sandstone arch built between 1790 and 1793. George Greville used the Warwick Bridge Act 1788 to replace an older medieval crossing further downstream. The finished bridge stands about 400 metres east of Warwick Castle, while the abandoned predecessor has faded into a ruin.
The National Heritage List for England records Castle Bridge as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Built in the 13th century, Castle Bridge in Somerset was constructed by the Bishop of Bath and Wells as a fortified gateway to the city of Wells. It is important as a rare example of a medieval bishop's castle and a key defensive and ceremonial structure in the history of the city.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
