The western face of Image, the 18th century incarnation of this bridge, which is grade II listed - see https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1165282 . Since the road is the dead-straight Roman King Street, there must have been bridges hereabouts for a couple of millennia, although I cannot be so certain about the course of the River, which is probably extremely variable in these wide, marshy fields.
