Probably C18, but undateable. The bridge appears to take its present name from a small nearby Independent chapel dated 1850.

A small vernacular village bridge, in uncoursed local rubble masonry. The stream passes through four rough-stonework openings each less than a metre in width and capped with large stone slabs. The road is about 4 m wide between the parapets. The parapets are of segmental profile, rising to less than a metre high at the mid span; coping of upright stones.
Interior
Reason for designation
A well preserved minor vernacular village bridge of increasingly rare type.
