There are two Cowley Bridges, across the Creedy and the Exe, and the maps indicate that this is the River Creedy, although descriptions of the bridge refer to the Exe. The bridge was built "to replace a 12-arched bridge" in 1813-14 by James Green, the Devon County Engineer and Surveyor http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=86110 . Nicely rounded coping to the parapet.
