Respryn Bridge
II*
Bridge over River Fowey. C15 with later partial rebuildings and repairs.
Dressed moorstone in courses and rubblestone with granite copings.
4 refuges above cutwaters to each side between 5 arches of differing date, span
and design, all without ribs. First arch (east end) round-headed with off-set rubble
stone walling above and parapet carried on later stone lintel splay. Second arch
wider and segmental, probably also C16/17, similarly treated above arch. Centre arch
appears to be C15 but centring not symmetrical. Similarly treated above arch. Pier
to right is massive. Arches 4 and 5 are wider 4-centred without off-set walling above
constructed entirely of coursed and dressed moorstone. Arches 4 and 5 may be C19
reusing old stone.
A bridge existed in 1300 and an early Charter refers to C12/13 Chapel of St
Martin. The original arrangement of the spans is no longer clear.
The bridge was guarded by Royalists at the outbreak of the Civil War.
Scheduled as Ancient Monument.
