SX 99 NE REWE

5/171 Paddleford Bridge - (formerly listed under 30.6.61 Broadclyst Parish) - II*

Bridge over River Culm. Circa 1700. Volcanic trap ashlar. 2 segmental arches, one large and one small, both double-chamfered to both sides, the small arch with original soffits, the larger arch with a rebuilt soffit in the form of a brick skew arch. Pointed cutwater to both sides forming refuges at the level of the road. Chamfered string-course and chamfered parapet wall coping; the parapets angle out at either end to act as revettments. This bridge is a good, albeit a late, example of the typical C17 Devon type.
