It forms part of the B1228 road. A bridge at the location was first recorded in 1396, and it may have replaced an earlier ferry.The current bridge probably dates from the late 17th century. It is built of Magnesian Limestone, and has two arches. The central pier has pointed cutwaters. The parapet is built of three courses of stone, and there are pedestrian refuges on either side at the mid-point of the bridge. As implied, there is no proper pedestrian path on this bridge but the traffic lights do allow for a 5-10 second gap.The bridge was grade II* listed in 1986.
