Stopham Bridge, Stopham, West Sussex
Dallaway's History of West Sussex and all the early authorities gave the date of the Bridge as 1309. But the correct date is probably 1422-3. One span was destroyed in the Civil War and replaced by a "drawbridge". This was fenced in 1650. The centre arch was raised in 1821 and has the inscription J.S.A. July 7 1822. It was badly damaged by army lorries in WW2. It was repaired after the war but has been damaged again since.
