Heritage listing
Details This record was the subject of a minor enhancement on 19 June 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 medieval multi-span bridge situated over the River Medway south-west of Yalding. The bridge is constructed of coursed and dressed masonry and has four pointed arches crossing the river. It is about 4m wide and spans about 55m across the Medway. There are four substantial pointed cutwaters on each side which rise up to the level of the parapet forming pedestrian refuges. The parapets have been rebuilt and are of red brick. A bridge is recorded at Twyford in 1325 and in wills of 1475 and 1488. Legacy The contents of this record have been generated from a legacy data system.
