The British History Online website gives this information: Lewes Bridge over the Ouse probably replaces a ford of Roman, or earlier, date. The bridge was repaired in 1159 and is referred to from time to time from the middle of the 13th century onwards. It was rebuilt about 1561, repaired in 1652, and swept away by a high tide in 1726. The present bridge is carried by a single stone arch, the keystone of which bears the date 1727. It was reconstructed and widened in 1932 and has iron railings in place of parapets.
