Full Report for Listed Buildings
The list description is not intended to be a complete inventory of what is listed: it is principally intended to aid identification. By law, the definition of a listed building includes the entire building (i) and any structure or object that is fixed to the said building and ancillary to it and (ii) any other structure or object that forms part of the land and has done so since before 1 July 1948, and was within the curtilage of the building, and ancillary to it, on the date on which said building was first included in the list, or on 1 January 1969, whichever was later.

Dated 1808. Stone road bridge of 3 arches, the centre being much larger. Roughly-dressed voussoirs, slightly inset below arch-rings of narrow stones; low cutwaters to both upstream and downstream sides. Slab-coped rubble parapets with plain stringcourses below.
