Confusingly, this bridge across the River Nadder is mapped in different squares at different scales; the 1:50000 has it in Image, but it seems to be definitely in Image It can't be that the river has shifted course, at least not since the "late C18" when the bridge was built. Also confusing is the fact that three parishes meet here and there are two listed building descriptions, for Dinton parish (on the right here) https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1146153 and for Compton Chamberlayne (across the river) https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1318754 . The descriptions are, however, identical, including the following, visible here: "plain parapet with pitched coping. Slightly angled abutment walls with square end piers". The third parish, to the left of the lane on this side of the river, is Barford St Martin. The wood in the background is Horse Shoe Copse.
