Mans Bridge is a Grade II Listed Structure and the Historic England website describes it thus:- "Late C18. A single segmental arch of tooled stone 'lamb's wool pattern' with a stringcourse at road level, projecting keystone, and solid balustrade with rounded coping swept out at each end to circular piers crowned with conical, slightly projecting capping." The bridge once carried the main A27 road over the river, but is now restricted to pedestrian and cycle use.
