Heritage listing
Details This record was the subject of a minor enhancement on 29 October 2014. The record has been generated from an "old county number" (OCN) scheduling record. These are monuments that were not reviewed under the Monuments Protection Programme and are some of our oldest designation records. The monument includes a 16th century multi-span bridge situated over the River Rother at Lower Fittleworth. The bridge has three arches constructed of ashlar with a stone parapet and coping. The central arch is round-headed and has been raised above those on each side which are pointed. There are cutwaters between the arches and at each end on the east side. The bridge was partly rebuilt between 1717 and 1739 and the centre arch was raised 1791. It was widened in 1964. A short distance to the north is another multi-span bridge; collectively they are known as Fittleworth Bridge. It is Grade II listed.
