Three-arch rubble limestone road bridge over stream, c.1800. Renovated, c.1950, with openings remodelled. Random rubble limestone walls with cut-limestone triangular cut-waters to piers having rendered coping, and rendered rubble limestone coping to parapets. Series of three round arches remodelled, c.1950, with dressed limestone voussoirs, and rubble limestone soffits rising to mass-concrete lintels supported on iron beams. Sited spanning tributary of River Nore with grass banks to stream.
A picturesque bridge representing an important element of the late eighteenth- or early nineteenth-century civil engineering legacy of the locality. The construction in locally-sourced rubble stone produces an unrefined, almost rustic quality appropriate to the rural setting. Remodelled reputedly to accommodate a flat deck in place of the original intended humped crossing the profile of the arches has happily survived in place, thereby maintaining some of the integrity of the composition.
