This little bridge dates from the late seventeenth century, being 'Coursed rubble and some dressed stone to buttresses and arches; two segmental arches with centre buttress-cutwaters set diagonally.' In the floods of 1968, it was very badly damaged and needed considerable repairs. On this view the waters rose up to near the top of the angled roofline beyond the two people.
